Meanwhile, the governor's support group reacted following a statement made by the director-general of Tinubu Support Group (TSG), Comrade Umar Ibrahim over Bello's advice to Asiwaju Bola Tinubu on the 2023 presidency.
A statement sent to Legit.ng by the director-general of the support group described the comment credited to the director-general of TSG, Comrade Umar Ibrahim, as outrageous and abhorrent.
