..Kogi Government, governor break silence
The All Progressives Congress (APC) Sunday denied reports that Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State has withdrawn his support for the party’s presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
The party in a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, described the report as ‘fake news.’
Bello was said to have withdrawn from the APC Presidential Campaign Council and willing to back the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Atiku Abubakar because of James Faleke, the member representing Ikeja Federal Constituency and reportedly nursing a gubernatorial ambition in Kogi State.
In a swift reaction, the APC described the story as false and a figment of the imagination of its author and sponsors.
Meanwhile, the Kogi State government has said that Governor Yayaha Bello did not withdraw support for Bola Tinubu,the presidential candidate of the APC
The State Commissioner for Information,Femi Fanwo described the report that the governor had dumped Tinubu as” spurious , malicious and a badly delivered hatchet job “.
On his part, Governor Bello had said that his support for Tinubu was total.
Bello,cleared the air on his alleged betrayal via social media on Sunday saying his support for the APC presidential candidate is 100%.
