Governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello, has explained why he
is yet to take part in the presidential campaign of of the All Progressives
Congress (APC).
Gov Bello, a presidential aspirant of the APC, participated
in the party’s primary election won by Bola Tinubu.
Since the flag off of Tinubu’s presidential campaign, the
governor has not been forthcoming despite his appointment as the Youth
Coordinator of the APC Presidential Campaign Council.
But Bello said he had been doing some underground work for
Tinubu, which has not allowed him to be part of the campaign train.
He spoke with Seyi Tinubu during his visit to his office in
Lokoja, the Kogi State capital on Thursday.
Seyi had led the PCC National Youth Mobilisation Directorate
to the Lord Lugard House in Lokoja, to mobilize supports for his father.
In his words, the governor stressed that people may be
thinking that he has been quite for some time now, saying, however, that but he
is really working underground for the APC candidate.
“I am with Asiwaju (Tinubu). I am doing some underground
work for the success of Asiwaju as President and for the APC, that is why I
have not been following the campaign train up and down. I may not be following
Asiwaju up and down, but what I’m doing is far above what the eye can see.
“Come 2023, we will record a landslide victory,” he
expressed confidence.
Gov Bello described Seyi Tinubu as his my “junior brother”,
saying “I am the first born of Asiwaju.”
Earlier, Seyi who is also in Kogi to distribute reach out to
recent flood victims said Kogi is amongst the States identified by the group to
visit and support.
He appreciated Bello for accepting them, while also thanking the Deputy Governor, Edward Onoja, for joining them in Lagos to show his support during the walk.
