While some have been seen in the front of houses, business places, almost all the street lights polls and public wall buildings are full of Bello’s presidential posters.

One of the residents of Dutse who put up Bello’s poster in front of his business place said he loves the governor as a youth and courageous politician.

According to him, he has the belief that if Bello becomes president, the governor will solve the problems of youths.

This is not the first time Bello's campaign posters flood the streets. At the beginning of the year, posters of the Kogi state governor surfaced on some major roads in Kano state.

The posters carrying inscriptions suggesting the governor’s 2023 presidential ambitions, were spotted in some areas of the foremost northern commercial city.

Though the posters did not bear any party’s logo there was a big inscription which reads: ‘For generational change 2023, vote Yahaya Bello for President, Federal Republic of Nigeria.’
