The Kogi State governor disclosed this while briefing State House Correspondents after his closed-door meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari.
Bello said: “I’m a free citizen of the party, a qualified member of the party. I bought a form and was cleared to participate in the election, and there is no reason for me to be excluded from the ballot.
“If they do so, then that is a recipe for bigger trouble for the party.
“However, I don’t think it’s a decision of the party but that of a few elites who may decide to use their positions to suppress the so-called minority, but I want to prove in this country that I’m not in the minority.
“We have the majority, and I belong to the younger generation. I belong to the generation of those that are oppressed, and they are saying their voice must be heard. I believe getting into that arena today, and I will win overwhelmingly.”
