joshuaALHAJI ALI BELLO, THE CHIEF OF STAFF TO HIS EXCELLENCY ALHAJI USMAN AHMED ODODO, THE EXECUTIVE GOVERNOR OF KOGI STATE
I want to deeply appreciate the administrative and all good people of Ebira Vonya for always wanting a good standard for Ebira nation and Kogi state in general.
Over the years, I have followed the activities in this group, and I come to believe that all they want is progress, peace, and unity in our land.
My attention has been drawn to recent post made by Ebira Vonya in her Facebook page concerning Alhaji Ali Bello the Chief of Staff to His Excellency Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo the Executive Governor of Kogi State on his activities as Chief of Staff.
I want to start by saying that everybody’s style of governance or doing things can never be the same. There are people who do things openly while others do the same thing calmly, but both of them can still achieve the same result.
In the last government of His Excellency Alhaji Yahaya Bello, Chief Ali Bello was actively involved behind the seen when he brought many initiatives that has impacted the society which was the reason we saw many people projects across our state but he does all this without been announce because he enjoyed working behind the scenes.
You will agree with me that in the second tenure of last government, he was personally supervising projects that have come to see the light of the day before the end of the tenure. Which I believe is the soild reason His Excellency Alhaji Usman Ahmed Ododo picked him as his CoS.
His achievements since he resumed office are so many. But worthy to note is the way he created a channel for many youths and women to be involved in this government.
Many youths and women are always engaged by him to see how the government will be closer to the people like never before.
This government has created local government Special Assistants and Ward Special Assistants, which are mostly youths and women. The local government election coming soon has youths and women, and the involvement of Chief Alhaji Ali Bello can not be denied.
CoS has helped many people in paying their school fees and medical expenses, which he loves doing secretly.
He has tried to unite East, Central, and West of the state together that looking at things now, next election of His Excellency will not be tough like the last one.
Chief Alhaji Ali Bello understood his role as Chief of Staff, which is to support his principal to achieve his goals, and for the eight months of this government, we can all testify that the government is focused
Law 1 of 48 Laws of Power stated, “Never Outshine The Master.” Robert Greene said, “Always make those above you feel comfortably superior. In your desire to please or impress them, do not go too far in displaying your talents, or you might accomplish the opposite – inspire fear and insecurity. Make your masters appear more brilliant than they are, and you will attain the heights of power.”
May Kogi State be great!!!
