Governor of Niger State, Abubakar Sani Bello has described those who have started campaigning for him as Vice Presidential candidate to Vice President Yemi Osinbajo in the 2023 Presidential election as mischief makers.
In a statement today, June 28 by his Chief Press Secretary, Mrs. Mary Noel Berje, the Governor said that it is not the time to talk about 2023, knowing very well that Nigeria had just came out of elections and the governments are yearning to fulfil promises made to the people.
He stressed that there is no basis or justification for such campaigns and posters, insisting that it is the handiwork of mischief makers trying to distract the government’s attention from discharging its mandate to the citizens.
“Our priority is to support Federal and State Government policies and programmes and to fulfil their campaign promises as the tenure is just beginning.
“We hereby describe the posters as well as their authors as FAKE and UNPATRIOTIC.
“We are fully focused to work for our people, and we remain loyal to the ruling party and the Federal government ably led by President Muhamadu Buhari.”
There have been certain 2023 campaign posters bearing images of Governor Sani Bello and Vice President Osinbajo that emerged today, June 28 across social media platforms, projecting the governor campaigning for the position of the Vice President to Professor Yemi Osnibajo as President in 2023.
But, the governor Sani Bello called on well-meaning people of Niger state and Nigerians to disregard such posters as it is the handiwork of mischief makers who always take delight in heating up the polity for their selfish interests.
