Yahaya Bello is my son – Tinubu

Yahaya Bello

Bola Tinubu, the All Progressives Congress’s presidential candidate, has claimed that Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi is his son.

Tinubu said this while praising Bello for mobilizing youths’ awareness during his campaign.

He revealed this when he paid a visit to Bello in Abuja, just 72 hours after his emergence as the APC’s presidential candidate for 2023.

Three governors accompanied the former Lagos State governor on his visit; Babajide Sanwo-Olu (Lagos), Bello Matawalle (Zamfara), and Abdullahi Ganduje (Zamfara) (Kano).

Adams Oshiomhole, a former Governor of Edo and former APC National Chairman, was also present at the meeting.

“The man of the convention, the man of democracy for that day, was Muhammadu Buhari,” Tinubu said.

“If you want to run, run; you want to crawl, crawl; you want to dance, dance.

“Yahaya Bello is my son; you mobilised the consciousness of the youth in the county. You remind us of what the nation wants to be.”

“The (opposition) thought there would be chaos and crisis. But we saw peace. Emi lokan. It’s my turn,” he added.
