2023 Polls: Yahaya Bello Debunks Dumping Tinubu

Bello, in a post via his verified Facebook page on Sunday, said his unwavering support for Tinubu and his running mate, Kashim Shettima, in the 2023 presidential election remained undiluted.

Gov Yahaya Bello of Kogi state has dismissed reports that he dumped the campaign train of the presidential flagbearer of the ruling All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.

Bello, in a post via his verified Facebook page on Sunday, said his unwavering support for Tinubu and his running mate, Kashim Shettima, in the 2023 presidential election remained undiluted.

Reports in some media outlets claimed that the Kogi governor may have dumped the Tinubu campaign.

The report said the National Youth Coordinator of the Tinubu-Shettima Presidential Campaign Council’s action could have been informed by the permutations in the North-Central state ahead of November governorship election.

Debunking this, Bello said, “My unwavering support for Tinubu/Shettima 2023 is 100% undiluted. God bless APC!!! God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria!”

The rumour is also coming barely 24 hours after Naja’atu Muhammad, a key player in the Tinubu-Shettima campaign dumped the APC.
