The immediate past Governor of Kogi state, Yahaya Bello has debunked the purported report of sponsoring the ongoing #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria protest.
Reacting to claims circulated by an activist, Jackson Ude, the media office of Yahaya Bello has dissociated the former governor from the protest.
According to Ohiare Michael who issued the press statement on Tuesday disclosed that move is underway to take legal actions against the activist.
The statement partly reads, “We consider the claims by the discredited Jackson Ude as reckless and irresponsibly malicious. Yahaya Bello is a patriot who had devoted his time, resources and energy to building a united and prosperous Nigeria.”
“We call on the Police, Department of State Services, and other relevant agencies to investigate the claims of this serial blackmailer with a view to bringing him to book. This is a matter of national security, which must not be taken lightly.
“We will take all necessary legal actions to get Ude to answer for his crimes.”
Ohiare further stressed that Yahaya Bello’s unflinching commitment to the administration of President Bola Tinubu and the progress of the All Progressives Congress (APC) despite his present political predicament and trial.
“For the records, even in the worst of times, HE Yahaya Bello has remained committed to the success of the All Progressives Congress government.
“He will continue to work for the progress, development and stability of Nigeria even in his private capacity. He is committed to the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Tinubu and will continue to do his utmost to support the president’s administration”, the statement reads.
