A former Kogi Governor, Yahaya Bello, has distanced himself from APC National Chairmanship campaign posters recently seen across the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.
In a statement on Thursday by its Director, Michael Ohiare, the Yahaya Bello Media Office in Lokoja dismissed the posters as the work of mischief makers.
Ohiare expressed surprise at reports suggesting the APC chairmanship campaign posters of the immediate past Kogi governor had flooded parts of Abuja.
“They (the mischief makers) are at it again, having failed on many fronts in their desperate ‘bring-him-down-at-all-costs’ mission,” he noted.
He said the reports would ordinarily be ignored, as close associates know Bello’s loyalty to the party is unwavering.
“As a committed party man, his support for President Bola Tinubu’s leadership has never been in doubt,” Ohiare added.
He stressed that nothing of the sort could come from Bello, particularly when party procedures remain firmly in place.
“Since this is not the first time mischief makers have printed posters in his name, silence is no longer an option,” Ohiare declared.
He stated that no one was authorised, directly or indirectly, to print or paste any poster on Bello’s behalf.
He urged the public to disregard such acts by individuals bent on embarrassing the former governor. NAN
