The Global Alliance of Progressive Professionals, otherwise called GAP3, has described the insinuation that Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State has jettisoned his presidential ambition for the position of vice-president as a lie from the pit of hell.
The group spoke in a statement signed by its National Coordinator and National Publicity Secretary, Ahmed Chikaji and Suleiman Siraj respectively, in Lokoja, on Tuesday.
The statement described the publication as unwarranted, malicious and capable of undermining the personality and integrity of Bello, who had been strategizing to run for the presidency in 2023.
According to it, the group is not unmindful of the activities of some political detractors with the motive of derailing the political moves of Bello, using all possible means, including the media.
It read, “We are aware of various moves by some political detractors using fake news and other means to set back our collective agitation for the North Central geo-political zone to pick the presidential slot of the APC and the personality of Governor Yahaya Bello for the job.
“The agitation and the ambition is, indeed, on the fast lane and for sure, it is going to be mission accomplished. Certainly, we expect people to grumble.”
It reiterated the earlier stance of the group on adherence to rotational presidency, urging the APC nationwide to support groups, youths and women in the vanguard for the North Central and Bello’s presidency.
