(AFRICAN EXAMINER) – The news that Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello, would make 20 million Nigerians millionaires has drawn excitement among some social media users in the country.

African Examiner reports that Yahaya Bello on Saturday formally declared to run for President in 2023 and made the declaration at the Eagles Square in Abuja.

Bello said: “According to a BBC report of February 13, 2012 over 100 million Nigerians live in extreme poverty during the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) era.

“In 2018, with APC in the saddle that figure has dropped to about 87m people yet Nigeria overtook India as the poverty capital of the world. Just this month,

Nigeria through the effort of the President relinquished the title back to India and brought down the figure to about 70m people.

“It is therefore clear that our path to national prosperity lies in pulling millions of Nigeria out of poverty.

“The Buhari administration has a target of lifting 100 million Nigerians out of poverty by the year 2030. A Yahaya Bello presidency will have an additional target of creating 20 million-naira millionaires by the same year 2030 with the aim that each of them will empower five other citizens.”

This development has sparked social media reactions as some peeps took to their Twitter handles to air their views concerning the matter many asked how many millionaires have the Kogi State governor made in his state.
