The Former governor of Kogi State, Alhaji Yahaya Bello has affirmed full support for Tinubu in 2027 stating that he has no presidential ambition and won’t contest against him.
In a statement signed by his Media Director, Michael Ohiare, on Friday, Bello denied a video uploaded recently from his 2022 rally suggesting that he has presidential ambition and had started campaigning against President Tinubu for 2027.
Describing the video as misleading, Bello cleared that it was cropped from a campaign in 2022 as he is solidly behind Tinubu for second term in 2027.
“While we state categorically, that our principal, Bello, has no 2027 presidential ambition, we want to also stress his unflinching commitment to the re-election of President Tinubu come 2027.
“The indices cannot lie. The President and his team have done exceedingly well for the country, despite global challenges. On merit, he deserves the support of well meaning Nigerians.
“Nigerians should disregard the mischievous post insinuating a fresh presidential support rally as what it is – a senseless post by a confused, witless mind.
“The fabricators forgot that the 2022 dates are boldly written on the banners on display. Yet, they expect reasonable people not to see this as the handiwork of detractors,” he said.
Adding that it is not the first time co-travellers are trying to set him up and turn Tinubu against him, Bello said;
“But this latest slant of reposting a 2022 rally afresh and insinuating that it is just happening, connotes nothing but sheer mischief.
“Nigerians should be wary of witless persons who concoct stories without thinking, just to satisfy the interests oftheir paymasters.”
