Some supporters of the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu, under the aegis of Tinubu Support Group (TSG), have taken a swipe at Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State, for asking Tinubu to drop his 2023 presidential ambition.
Irked by Governor Bello’s suggestion, the TSG said the governor’s poor performance as governor was a betrayal of the Not-too-Young-to-Run campaign.
This was contained in a statement titled, ‘Your failure in governance has betrayed the Not-too-young-to-Run Campaign-TSG replies Yahaya Bello,’ which was signed by the Director- General of the TSG, Umar Ibrahim, in Abuja, on Sunday.

The TSG said, “All Nigerians can attest to the fact that Governor Bello of Kogi State is a disgrace to the Not-too-Young-to-Run campaign.
“How do we commit a great nation such as Nigeria to a so-called youthful governor who was given an opportunity to lead his state and he messed things up?
“It is on record that you, governor Bello, remain the governor with the highest number of months of unpaid salaries, and non performance despite the huge sums of both internal and federally-generated revenues.

“We advise that you channel all your efforts into begging and praying for forgiveness for all the sufferings you have inflicted on the good people of Kogi state rather than eyeing the presidency.”
The group insisted that Tinubu remained the most qualified and competent candidate to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari.
