Presidential campaign posters of Kogi state Governor, Yahaya Bello have appeared along major roads in Kano state city ahead of 2023 general elections.

However, Bello’s campaign posters, with inscriptions of 2023 presidential ambitions had already surfaced on the streets of Kano on the wee hours of yesterday.
In what came as a surprise to Kano residents, the campaign posters of the governor were spotted in some strategic areas of the commercial city.
A careful look had revealed that the posters were designed with no political party logo but bears the picture of the governor emblazoned with an inscription that “Yahaya Bello for Generational Change 2023” by the side of the poster.
Underneath the picture, “Yahaya Bello For President, Federal Republic of Nigeria” was inscribed on the poster, which was pasted along roads and some buildings.
Also, at the extreme end of the poster, it was written “Courtesy: Nigerian Youth Awareness Group, YAB 2023”
