Yahaya Bello Speaks On Plot To Displace Gaduje, Become APC Chairman

Former Governor Yahaya Bello has denied any plot to displace Gaduje and become APC Chairman.

 

NewsOnline Nigeria reports that Former Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello, has refuted the report that he was running for the position of the national chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

 

This Nigeria news platform understands that Yahaya described the publications as the antics of opposition leaders, mischief makers, and fifth columnists bent on creating confusion within the hierarchy of the party.

Bello said the insinuation of party chairmanship ambition through some posters in Abuja “is infantile, false and should be disregarded.”

He said in a statement that APC “is not in the process of conducting congresses or a convention, therefore, there is absolutely no basis for anyone to circulate any posters for party offices.”

Urging members of the public to disregard the false impression, the former governor said he never authorised anyone to circulate any posters on his behalf as he remains a loyal party man who is committed to the leadership of Abdullahi Ganduje.

 

In the same vein, NewsOnline Nigeria reports that the Kogi state government said the report on the creation of the office of the immediate past governor is false.

 

Governor Usman Ododo said in a statement that the report was fake, adding that it is the handiwork of psychotic mischief makers, who have been thrown into confusion by the unprecedented achievements of the former governor.

 

He said: The laughable report was concocted to create disaffection and mislead the public but the authors failed woefully to confuse intelligent Nigerians.

“We thank the media for exercising restraint and detecting, on their own, that the report was fake. We, however, urge the general public to always fact-check before spreading fake news.”
