Kogi State governor, Yahaya Bello, has warned the All Progressives Congress (APC) from excluding his name on the ballot in the primary to elect the party’s presidential candidate for the 2023 election.
According to him, doing such would be a recipe for crisis in the party.
Recall that Bello had stormed out of a meeting with his fellow APC governors after it was resolved that the presidency should go to the South.
The APC governors also forwarded five names to President Buhari to pick his consensus candidate and Bello’s name was conspicuously absent
Addressing state house correspondents after a meeting with President Buhari on Tuesday, June 7th, Bello said there is a conspiracy against him, accusing the APC northern governors and some elite of gang-up. According to him, he wasn’t consulted before the APC governors came up with the decision to back a Southern president.
He said there was no need for him to be excluded in the primary, claiming that he represents the youths and the downtrodden.
