Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State on Sunday denied dumping the presidential candidate of All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu.<\/p>\n

Bello said his support for Tinubu\u2019s presidential ambition is 100 per cent.<\/p>\n

In a post on his verified Facebook page, the governor said his support for Tinubu is undiluted.<\/p>\n

There were reports that Bello dumped Tinubu\u2019s campaign team over the APC flagbearer\u2019s choice of governorship candidate in Kogi State.<\/p>\n

Tinubu is reported to have opted for James Faleke as APC\u2019s next governorship candidate in the state.<\/p>\n

His action is reported to have angered his National Youth Coordinator of the Tinubu-Shettima Presidential Campaign Council.<\/p>\n

Reacting, Bello wrote: \u201cMy unwavering support for Tinubu\/Shettima 2023 is 100% undiluted. God bless APC!!! God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria!\u201d<\/p>\n

The rumour is coming barely 24 hours after Naja\u2019atu Muhammad, a key player in the Tinubu-Shettima campaign dumped the APC.<\/p>\n
