Kogi State Government has said Governor Yahaya Bello did not withdraw support for Bola Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Gatekeepers News reports that Femi Fanwo, Kogi State commissioner for information and director of Media and Publicity, Kogi State APC Campaign Council, described a report that Bello had dumped Tinubu as “spurious, malicious and a badly delivered hatchet job”.
He said Bello’s commitment to the campaign was not in doubt among committed stakeholders of the APC at all levels.
He said: “GYB is constantly on the drawing board, galvanising Kogites and youths across Nigeria to massively support the man he calls the President-in-waiting, Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
“This will definitely not go down well with open and veiled detractors of our presidential candidate, who would go to any length to paint a picture of crisis where there is absolutely none.
Fanwo said Bello had delivered critical assignments at the State and at the national level for the party, adding that he recently registered millions of youths, women and people living with disabilities into the APC.
He said: “Governor Bello is proud of the Presidential Candidate of his party and has no doubt whatsoever in the capacity of Tinubu to take Nigeria to the desired level”.
He said Bello will continue to work assiduously for the resounding success of Tinubu at the February polls.
