Governor Bello pointed out that as the mother’s last child, his coming into this world through his mother was miraculous, noting that she gave birth to him when she was very old, at a time nobody expected her to give birth anymore. He said his mother’s prayers while he was growing up was that he would someday be a leader not only in the state but even in the North at large.

The governor noted that his strive and agenda for unity and peaceful co-existence amongst all tribes in the state were being driven by the charge and instructions of his mother when he became governor in his first term.

He narrated that before her demise, she charged him to ensure the safety of lives and properties of the people of the state.

This charge from her mother, Bello pointed out was as a result of her experience at the hands of kidnappers in 2014 where she was kept in a cave for 93 days.

Governor Bello promised that he would continue to ensure the security and safety of the people and their properties are guaranteed within the best of his abilities.

He expressed confidence in the competence of those charged with the duties of security in the state.
