The All Progressives Congress, APC, has dismissed reports
that Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State has withdrawn support for Bola Tinubu.
Bello is a member of the APC Presidential Campaign Council,
PCC.
The Kogi helmsman was among the presidential aspirants
before Tinubu won the ticket in June 2022.
A statement on Sunday by the APC said there are “imagined
political permutations” on the Kogi governorship election scheduled for
November.
National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka labelled the
speculations “maliciously false and a figment of the imagination of its author
and sponsors.”
Morka said Bello, who serves as the National Youth
Coordinator of the PCC is a solid, resourceful and committed campaigner” for
Tinubu.
The spokesman noted that “the fake news” seeks to float a
rift between Bello and Hon. James Faleke, secretary of the APC PCC.
“It 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,” Morka added.
Faleke is reportedly Tinubu’s choice for the Kogi APC
ticket, while Bello reportedly favours incumbent deputy Edward Onoja.
