Former Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello, has firmly debunked circulating reports suggesting he is preparing to contest for Nigeria’s presidency in 2027.

In a post obtained from his official Facebook page by The Bureau Newspaper, Bello described the news as fake and the handiwork of “mischief makers.”

“Please disregard fake news by mischief makers. My for our dear President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is 100% unwavering for 2027 and beyond,” Bello wrote in the post. “God bless the All Progressives Congress, APC. God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria 🇳🇬.”

The clarification comes on the heels of earlier media reports claiming that youths in Anambra State had staged a massive rally in of Bello’s purported 2027 presidential ambition. However, the former governor has outrightly denied having any such political plans, stating that his loyalty remains with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the APC.

The former governor’s statement is seen as a strategic move to quell rumors and reinforce party unity ahead of the 2027 general elections. Yahaya Bello served as governor of Kogi State from 2016 to 2024 and has remained a prominent figure within the APC since leaving office.

Political analysts suggest that Bello's declaration may be aimed at dispelling distractions and affirming his continued loyalty to the party and its leader.

This guy still dey house dey talk? .. Nigeria is a joke.

Nigeria is a mad place I swear

Pesin wey suppose hide for the next 10 years wan run for president. Wow

See how many politics topics in frontpage alone this week, it's alarming! And it's not even 2026 yet!

Except politics, are there nothing else happening in other areas in this country?!

This forum feels heavily politicized

Politics..

Yahayah Bello is already having his hands full of corruption charges so he has no business with 2027 elections.

Those who ought to bury their heads in shame are the ones gallivanting around, brutalizing our pysches and claiming they are the messiahs the people need. But thank God we are all sojourners on this planet both the rich and the poor, president and nobody. 😁😁

Bello wey dey manage himself jeeje.
Una wan put am for trouble.
I fear Nigerians

The fear of EFCC is real

Small Nyash dey shake.

To get things right in Nigeria. The president should establish a kind of jail that should be called Corrupt People's Prison (P), Different from regular jails for other criminals. This jail should house corrupt politicians and Yahoo boys.
Make a constitutional amendments to this effect.
All the states and all government officials will be audited at the end of every month. The auditor should be hired from overseas, and the judge that should decide the case should be a foreign judge. These people to be hired will never be known by the person they are going to audit and are people that can't be bribed.

If at the end of the audit, the Governor or minister or any government official cannot for 10 million, he should spend 10 years in P. 20 million should be 20years. 100miliion to 900milion should be life in prison. Above 1 billion should be death by hanging or firing squad to be conducted in your home town with a live coverage of the hanging or firing squad.

If this is not done, Nigeria will never get it right.

Lol!! Him get $?

Somehow a country that always elect criminals to lead them still believe it will develop 😂

He dare not

However a Ministerial position is guaranteed him.

You that any serious candidate should not allow to near his campaign grounds is talking about running for president. Politicians has no shame at all.

If Gandollar can still be moving freely as an APshit chaimo, who's yeye bello that will not later become a senator or would appoint as a minister few years to this time 😊
Just keep your fingers crossed 🤞

This is Nigeria

Nigeria is truly a jaga jaga and scatter scatter state. Everything goes. Anybody can become president irrespective of his or her past.
