Ex-Gov Yahaya Bello Disowns APC Chairmanship Campaign Posters
From Joseph Amedu, Lokoja
A former Kogi Governor, Yahaya Bello, has distanced himself from APC National Chairmanship campaign posters recently seen across the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.
A statement by his Director of Media, Michael Ohiare, dismissed the posters saying that it is 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.

The defection, which saw prominent figures such as Hon. Samuel Aro, Alhaji Abdulganiyu Salaudeen (Erukutu), Hon. T.J. Faniyi, and Commodore Folorunsho Daniel was Bello’s Masterstroke that boost his credentials as one of the top leaders of the Party.
Alh Yahaya Adoza Bello’s activeness in APC has borne fruit, with thousands of members defecting to the party. Bello’s role in driving this development has been instrumental, and his vision for a one-party system in Kogi State is becoming a reality.
Former Gov. Bello while Speaking at the Occasion said, “Despite the intention of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu not to make Nigeria a one-party system, Kogi would be a one-party system.” This bold statement reflects his commitment to the party’s ideals and his determination to deliver results.
Given his efforts in bringing Kogi State to the brink of becoming a one-party system, many are now speculating that Bello deserves the national chairmanship of the APC.
His leadership and strategic vision have been instrumental in strengthening the party’s presence in the state, and his influence extends beyond Kogi State.
Governor Ododo during his speech, expressed his gratitude to former Governor Yahaya Adoza Bello and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, saying, “Leaders and members of our great party, we are here today because someone has provided us the platform. On this note, I rise to appreciate His Excellency President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, we want to tell Mr. President that we in Kogi State are not ingrates. I am standing here to tell Mr. President that we in Kogi State, we are not hungry and we are not angry, perhaps anyone says Nigerians are hungry and angry, we are not part of them.”
While addressing the crowd, Governor Ododo also thanked the former Governor of Kogi State, Alhaji Yahaya Adoza Bello, promising to drive his mandate of leadership with him throughout his administration. He warmly welcomed the defectors to the APC, saying, “I welcome all the decampees to the All Progressives Congress (APC).” He also promised to address security challenges in the Yagba East Local Government Area, warning indigenes and traditional rulers to desist from partnering with criminals.
The Acting APC National Chairman, Alhaji Bukar Dalori, represented by Mazu Bawa Rijau, formally welcomed the defectors to the party and handed over the party flag to the Decampees. He said, “On behalf of the National Acting Chairman of our great Party , I formally welcome you to the party.”
Bello’s contributions to the APC’s growth and development make a strong case for his candidacy for the National chairmanship. His ability to deliver results and build a strong party structure in Kogi State demonstrates his potential to lead the party at the national level.
