“Report Of Gov. Bello’s Withdrawal Of Support For Tinubu Is Patently False, Irresponsible” –APC

By Daniel Dafe

The All Progressives Congress, APC, has reacted to a front page report in Sunday Tribune of today, January 22, 2023, that the Governor of Kogi State and member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council, His Excellency, Yahaya Bello, has “tactically” withdrawn support for the party’s Presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

According to the report, Bello,s decision was hinged on political permutations on the Kogi State Governorship election scheduled for November.

But in a statement signed by Barr. Felix Morka, National Publicity Secretary, the party described the story as “maliciously false and a figment of the imagination of its author and sponsors.”

“Governor Yahaya Bello who serves as the National Youth Coordinator of the Tinubu-Shettima Presidential Campaign Council, is a solid, resourceful and committed campaigner for our Party’s Candidate, leading a massively successful outreach to youth voters across the country.

“This FAKE NEWS, ostensibly intended to float an imagined rift between Governor Yahaya Bello and Honourable James Faleke, Secretary of the APC Presidential Campaign Council, is the desperate and disgraceful conjecture of opposition elements unsettled by our Party’s giant campaign strides. Both loyal Party men are unquestionably committed and working tirelessly for the resounding victory of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu in next month’s presidential election,” the statement added.

Continuing, APC urged party members and all Nigerians to disregard the “fake news.”
