In a statement issued Sunday evening, Michael Ohiare, Director of the Yahaya Bello Media Office, rejected the report as false, misleading, and an attempt to harm the former governor’s reputation and his relationship with the president.
“Our attention has been drawn to a baseless and mischievous report by an obscure blog, Daily Excessive, falsely quoting Alhaji Yahaya Bello as saying he would reveal how President Tinubu became Nigeria’s president. Ohiare declared, “This is a ridiculous fabrication intended to cause friction between the president and the former governor.”
In addition to being baseless, he said, the accusations revealed the desperation of those who were trying to damage Bello’s reputation.
Since the court records are open to the public, any knowledgeable Nigerian is aware that Yahaya Bello has only pleaded in the cases that are in front of him. The report is completely false and ludicrous, as trials have not yet begun, the statement said.
Ohiare emphasized that the former governor maintains great respect for President Tinubu and the office he holds.
He accused certain politicians of orchestrating the false report as part of a smear campaign.
The statement also pledged to take legal action against the people responsible for the fake news and cautioned that security agencies have been notified to find them.
“Alhaji Yahaya Bello is still dedicated to his support of the All Progressives Congress and the president. The mischief makers behind this baseless report will face the full consequences of their actions,” Ohiare concluded.
