As the 2023 general elections draw closer, several campaign fliers and posters have started flooding some major cities in the country. Such is that of the posters of the Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello.
The governor has, however, denied being involved in the circulation of the campaign materials and distanced himself from the 2023 presidency.
In a statement on Thursday by his Chief Press Secretary, Mohammed Onogwu, governor Bello said he has no hand in campaign materials linking him to next year’s election.
Bello said he will not support that kind of premature intention, especially at this crucial moment when the nation and the world is facing challenges of containing the spread of COVID-19.
The governor noted that providing good governance and delivering his campaign promises to the people of the state is his main priority right now.
He, however, urged the people not to allow anybody or group to mislead them into using his name to achieve their political goals.
The statement read, “We want to state categorically that Governor Bello has no prior knowledge of neither the group nor the individuals behind the posters and flyers.
“His Excellency, as a responsible governor who is very sensitive to the plight and well-being of the citizens, cannot and will not support that kind of premature intention, especially at this crucial moment when the nation and the world is facing challenges of containing the spread of COVID-19.”
