Yahaya Bello Breaks Silence On APC Chairmanship Bid As Campaign Posters Flood Streets

Former Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello, has disassociated himself from campaign posters promoting him as a contender for the National Chairmanship of the All Progressives Congress (APC), which recently surfaced in various parts of Abuja.

In a statement issued on Thursday by his Media Office Director, Michael Ohiare, Bello described the posters as the handiwork of mischief-makers attempting to tarnish his reputation.

Ohiare expressed shock over media reports suggesting Bello’s involvement in the campaign, emphasizing that those close to the former governor are well aware of his unwavering loyalty to the APC and to President Bola Tinubu.

“No one has been authorised, directly or indirectly, to produce or distribute any posters on Yahaya Bello’s behalf,” Ohiare stated, urging the public to disregard the false narrative.

He further added, “Once again, mischief-makers are at work. Their desperation to pull him down by any means is not new. Yahaya Bello’s commitment to President Tinubu’s leadership and the APC remains steadfast. This time, we will not remain silent in the face of deliberate mischief.”
