A support group of Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello has distanced the governor from those joining him and former Aviation Minister Femi Fani Kayode as President and Vice President in the 2023 presidential election.
A statement by the National President of the group Alhaji Salihu Magaji said Gov. Bello has no prior knowledge of the purported materials, and does not have any link with the group or individuals, joining his ticket with anybody.

He disowned the pictures being circulated on social media, or published by online media.
”We want to state categorically that Governor Bello has no prior knowledge of that, neither the group nor the individuals behind the posters and flyers are known to His Excellency.
”His Excellency, as a responsible governor who is very sensitive to the plight and wellbeing of the citizens, cannot and will not support that kind of premature intentions especially at this crucial moment.
“Everybody knows in politics there is procedure for everything, Vice presidents are normally picked after successful primary election.
”We want to inform all supporters of Yahaya Bello to remain calm and focused and to understand that Governor Bello has no knowledge of the posters.
”2023 is in the hands of the Almighty God, who is indeed the benefactor of each of His own dear ones, who alone can enthrone and dethrone and we are praying to almighty Allah to give Yahaya Bello the opportunity to become next president of Nigeria.”
Magaji urged the people not to allow anybody or group to mislead them by using the name of Yahaya Bello to achieve their political goals.
