Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The All Progressives Congress, APC, has dismissed reports that Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State has withdrawn support for Bola Tinubu.<\/p>\n

Bello is a member of the APC Presidential Campaign Council, PCC.<\/p>\n

The Kogi helmsman was among the presidential aspirants before Tinubu won the ticket in June 2022.<\/p>\n

A statement on Sunday by the APC said there are \u201cimagined political permutations\u201d on the Kogi governorship election scheduled for November.<\/p>\n

National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka labelled the speculations \u201cmaliciously false and a figment of the imagination of its author and sponsors.\u201d<\/p>\n

Morka said Bello, who serves as the National Youth Coordinator of the PCC is a solid, resourceful and committed campaigner\u201d for Tinubu.<\/p>\n

The spokesman noted that \u201cthe fake news\u201d seeks to float a rift between Bello and Hon. James Faleke, secretary of the APC PCC.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is the desperate and disgraceful conjecture of opposition elements unsettled by our Party\u2019s giant campaign strides.<\/p>\n

\u201cBoth loyal party men are unquestionably committed and working tirelessly for the resounding victory of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu in next month\u2019s presidential election,\u201d Morka added.<\/p>\n

Faleke is reportedly Tinubu\u2019s choice for the Kogi APC ticket, while Bello reportedly favours incumbent deputy Edward Onoja.<\/p>\n
