A former Governor of Kogi State, Alhaji Yahaya Bello, has pledged his unflinching commitment to the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu come 2027.
He said based on undeniable indices, President Tinubu and his team have done exceedingly well for the country, despite global challenges.
“On merit, he deserves the support of well meaning Nigerians,” he said.
In a statement signed by Ohiare Michael, Director, Yahaya Bello Media Office, the former governor said he has no ambition to vie for the presidency in 2027.
He, however, berate detractors who are bent on setting him against the President.
Reacting to a recent online post adorned with picture of a rally held in 2022 to mislead Nigerians that the former governor is gearing up for 2027 presidential contest, the media office urged the general public t be wary of “witless bloggers who concoct stories without thinking”.
“Our attention has been drawn to another senseless post by mischief makers, who have no other job than to fabricate falsehood and disseminate same to mislead unsuspecting Nigerians.
“They have tried so hard in their ‘bring-him-down-at-all-costs’ mission against the immediate past Governor of Kogi State, His Excellency, Alhaji Yahaya Bello, but have always failed woefully.
“It is not the first time detractors and their co-travellers would fly absolute falsehood with the aim of setting the former governor against our President, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. But this latest slant of reposting a 2022 rally afresh and insinuating that it is just happening, connotes nothing but insanity.
“Nigerians should be wary of witless bloggers who concoct stories without thinking, just to satisfy the interests of their equally brainless paymasters.
“In their desperate bid to create crisis where there is none, they forgot the 2022 dates written boldly on the banners on display. Yet, they expect reasonable people not to see this as the handiwork of frustrated detractors.
“While we state, categorically, that our Principal, His Excellency former Governor Yahaya Bello, has no 2027 presidential ambition, we want to also stress his unflinching commitment to the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu come 2027,” the statement read.
Bello urged Nigerians to disregard the mischievous post insinuating a fresh presidential support rally.
