  Kogi Governor, Yahaya Bello, Thwarts an Impending Civil War Through His Timely Intervention **Abuja, Nigeria**

Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State has expressed his satisfaction in the pivotal role he played in preventing a potential civil war in the nation. During a conversation with journalists in Abuja over the weekend, the governor explained that his decision to mediate in the tense situation between the food production union and buyers stemmed from his unwavering commitment to preserving peace and security in Nigeria. Governor Bello emphasized that his prompt intervention averted a catastrophic conflict between aggrieved Northern youths and their Southern counterparts, who harbored deep resentment over the killing of their brethren and the destruction of their property in the Southern region of the country. He refuted allegations that he was sent by the Presidency or the All Progressives Congress to resolve the crisis, asserting that his actions were solely driven by his patriotic zeal. "I was not invited by any group or party to save the situation that has saved the country from a bloodbath," the governor stated. "I had to intervene because of the rising tension in the North due to the killing of some traders and destruction of their property in some Southern states without any intervention by anybody." Governor Bello reiterated his unwavering commitment to leading Nigeria towards prosperity and progress, particularly for the benefit of the younger generation, women, and the vulnerable. His timely intervention not only prevented a civil war but also reinforced his dedication to ensuring the well-being of all Nigerians.
