The All Progressives Congress, APC, has denied claims that Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello has withdrawn his support for Bola Tinubu.
Bello is on the APC Presidential Campaign Council.
The Kogi helmsman was among the presidential aspirants before Tinubu won the ticket in June 2022.
The APC stated in a statement on Sunday that there are “imagined political permutations” on the Kogi governorship poll, which is set for November.
National Publicity Secretary Felix Morka called the rumors “maliciously untrue and a fabrication of its creator and sponsors’ mind.”
Morka described Bello, the PCC’s National Youth Coordinator, as “a solid, resourceful, and motivated campaigner” for Tinubu.
The spokesman noted that “the fake news” seeks to float a rift between Bello and Hon. James Faleke, secretary of the APC PCC.
“It is the desperate and disgraceful conjecture of opposition elements unsettled by our Party’s giant campaign strides.
“Both loyal party men are unquestionably committed and working tirelessly for the resounding victory of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu in next month’s presidential election,” Morka added.
Faleke is reportedly Tinubu’s choice for the Kogi APC ticket, while Bello reportedly favours incumbent deputy Edward Onoja.
