POLITICS: APC Describes Gov Bello’s Intentions To Defect APC For AP As Balderdash

The report that Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello, is planning to dump the All Progressives Congress has been ridiculed by the party. 

Speaking in reaction to the report, the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Lanre Issa-Onilu, while fielding questions to newsmen at the weekend said the report that Bello was contemplating joining the Accord Party if the APC denied him re-election ticket was balderdash.

An earlier report had said that the APC flags had been removed from the Governor’s Office and Government House in Lokoja, the state capital.

But Issa-Onilu dismissed the report as “balderdash.”

He asked those behind the report to find a better job to do.

“Whoever is raising such an issue is talking balderdash and should find a serious job to do.“It (the report) is stupid that I don’t want to waste my time speaking about it. I’m just dismissing it,” he said.

According to the Independent National, Electoral Commission had fixed November 2 for the governorship election in the state.
