The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has dismissed as false a report that Kogi Governor Yahaya Bello has 'tactically' withdrawn support for the party's presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

The report said Bello's withdrawal was informed by imagined political permutations on the Kogi Governorship election scheduled for November.

Dismissing the report by a news tabloid (Not The Nation), APC National Publicity Secretary, Barrister Felix Morka in a statement in Abuja on Sunday said the report ' is maliciously false and a figment of the imagination of its author and sponsors.'

The statement reads: 'Our attention has been drawn to a front-page report in Sunday Tribune of today, January 22, 2023, that the Governor of Kogi State and member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council, His Excellency, Yahaya Bello, has 'tactically' withdrawn support for our Presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu over imagined political permutations on the Kogi State Governorship election scheduled for November.
