Former Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello stated on Friday that he will not challenge President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 election, as he has no presidential ambitions.
In a statement signed by his Media Director, Michael Ohiare, Bello expressed surprise and shock over a video from his 2022 rally that falsely claimed he had begun campaigning against President Tinubu for the 2027 polls.

The statement read: “While we state categorically, that our principal, Bello, has no 2027 presidential ambition, we want to also stress his unflinching commitment to the re-election of President Tinubu come 2027.
“The indices cannot lie. The President and his team have done exceedingly well for the country, despite global challenges. On merit, he deserves the support of well meaning Nigerians.
“Nigerians should disregard the mischievous post insinuating a fresh presidential support rally as what it is – a senseless post by a confused, witless mind
“The fabricators forgot that the 2022 dates are boldly written on the banners on display. Yet, they expect reasonable people not to see this as the handiwork of detractors. ” he said.
Michael Ohiare, Yahaya Bello’s Media Director, dismissed the video as a “senseless post” created by “mischief makers” whose sole aim is to fabricate and spread falsehoods to mislead Nigerians.
He stated that these fabricators have consistently tried, and failed, in their “bring-him-down-at-all-costs” mission against Bello.
Ohiare added that this isn’t the first time detractors have spread false information to create discord between the former governor and President Tinubu.
“But this latest slant of reposting a 2022 rally afresh and insinuating that it is just happening, connotes nothing but sheer mischief.
“Nigerians should be wary of witless persons who concoct stories without thinking, just to satisfy the interests of their paymasters, ” he said
He stressed that the post was out of desperate bid to create crisis where there is none.
