APC warns Yahaya Bello to stop campaigning for national chairman
According to The Nation, the spokesperson of the APC gave the warning in an interview with journalists at the party’s secretariat on Tuesday, January 30.
The posters of the former governor were seen on major streets in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), especially around the federal secretariat and on walls and fences of structures around the APC national secretariat along Blantyre Street, Wuse 2, Abuja.
The bold picture of the former Kogi state governor is adorned with the inscription, “APC Next Level. Alhaji Yahaya Bello as APC National Chairman. Leading the Change, Building a Stronger APC.”
Bello handover to Usman Ododo
Recall that Bello’s tenure as governor of Kogi state ended on Saturday, January 27, when the new governor, Usman Ododo, was sworn in.
The colourful event was graced by Vice President Kashim Shettima and the current national chairman of the APC, Abdullahi Ganduje.
However, barely 48 hours after his handing over, posters campaigning for Bello to unseat Ganduje in the top office of the ruling party surfaced online.
Kogi dep gov prostrates for Bello
New Kogi state deputy governor, Salifu Oyibo, has been caught in a viral video prostrating for the immediate past Governor Yahaya Bello.
Oyibo was seen making the move soon after signing the oath of office, and the governor did not stand up to welcome him.
Some Nigerians on social media have condemned the action, while some are calling on the anti-graft agency to probe the administration of the former governor.
