The president and his team have done exceedingly well for the country
Former Kogi State Governor, Alhaji Yahaya Bello, has refuted claims suggesting he is planning to run against President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 election. In a statement signed by his media director, Michael Ohiare, Bello dismissed a resurfaced video from a 2022 rally as misleading and mischievous.
“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,” Ohiare said.
He described the video post as “a senseless post by a confused, witless mind,” adding that the rally was clearly dated 2022.
“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 added.
Ohiare alleged the post was part of a sustained effort to “bring him down at all costs,” and urged Nigerians to ignore such falsehoods.
