Bello dissociates self from APC chairmanship posters
The former Kogi governor said the insinuation of party chairmanship ambition through some posters in Abuja “is infantile, false and should be disregarded.”
He said in a statement that APC “is not in the process of conducting congresses or a convention, therefore, there is absolutely no basis for anyone to circulate any posters for party offices.”
Urging members of the public to disregard the false impression, the former governor said he never authorised anyone to circulate any posters on his behalf as he remains a loyal party man who is committed to the leadership of Abdullahi Ganduje.
