Yahaya Bello Disgracing our Party*
*- APC Youth Vanguard

 

The All Progressives Congress (APC) Youth Vanguard has warned the former Governor of Kogi State, Alhaji Yahaya Bello to stop disgracing the party over his running battle with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

In a statement released on Sunday and signed by the Coordinator of APC Youth Vanguard, Rasheed Sanusi, the group wondered why the former governor “has been evading justice and bringing the Party into disrepute.”

The Youth Vanguard urged Bello to toe the path of honour and turn himself in to account for his time and tenure in office and safe the party and the presidency from further embarrassment, especially in view of the recent arrest of former governors of the opposition party, the People Democratic Party, PDP, by the EFCC.

The statement reads in part, “Bello’s consistent disobedience of court summons and forum shopping are now being misinterpreted as a result of protection by the Presidency being a member of the APC and having played a role in the Tinubu/Shettima Presidential Campaign Council.
The helplessness explained recently by the Presidential spokesman in a television interview is neither helpful nor acceptable.

“Orji Uzor Kalu was quoted as saying ‘I had a case with the EFCC. I appeared in all court proceedings for 12 years, I never ran away and I never missed any court sitting. I am not the kind of person that will dodge court sittings.

“Ex-Taraba State Governor Darius Ishaku has also been arrested by EFCC to account for his actions and activities while in office and has since been released on bail.

“Only last week, ex-Delta State Governor Ifeanyi Okowa was arrested and released on administrative bail.
“Also, the outgoing Governor of Edo State, Mr. Godwin Obaseki has declared his readiness to answer EFCC’s invitation, if invited.

“So, why is Yahaya Bello shunning court summons? Who are those in the Presidency allegedly protecting Bello? This seemingly state of helplessness is embarrassing to our Party, the Presidency and the country as a whole. It is a global shame. We urge Bello to voluntarily appear for arraignment at the courts or be forced to do so by inter-agency cooperation. Enough is enough!”

Renewed Hope Ambassadors Shift to Grassroots Mobilisation Ahead of 2027

*Renewed Hope Ambassadors Step Into the Next Phase

 

Fresh from the successful APC 2026 National Convention, the Renewed Hope Ambassadors National, Zonal, and State leadership gathered in Abuja over the weekend, for its fourth strategic meeting, setting the tone for nationwide grassroots activation ahead of 2027.

Chaired by Governor Hope Uzodinma (Imo State) the Director General and National Coordinator of the Renewed Hope Ambassadors, alongside Deputy Director-General, Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna State, and Governor Inuwa Yahaya of Gombe State as Secretary, the session reinforced one clear direction: One Party. One Message. One Mobilization whilst also laying out a strategic roadmap for the activation of the network across all communities in Nigeria.

Backed by the strength of 31 APC-led states, the Renewed Hope Agenda is taking Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s message of progress and reform to every corner of Nigeria.

From bold economic restructuring to initiatives like NELFUND, the increase in the national minimum wage from ₦30,000 to ₦70,000, and strategic investments in critical sectors, including PNiCGI, the mission remains clear: helping Nigerians understand both the purpose and the progress of the Renewed Hope vision.

This is coordination at scale. This is grassroots engagement with purpose. This is the next phase of Renewed Hope with One Party, One Message, and One Mobilisation framework

The Zamfara State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has finalized plans to receive Vice President Kashim Shettima for the formal defection and reception of Governor Dauda Lawal into the ruling party, scheduled to take place on Tuesday.

 

State APC Chairman, Tukur Danfulani Maikatako, disclosed this during a high-level stakeholders’ meeting held in Gusau, the state capital. He noted that the Vice President would be joined by the party’s national leadership to mark what he described as a landmark political realignment in the state.

 

Maikatako expressed the party’s excitement over Governor Lawal’s return, recalling that Zamfara had historically been an APC stronghold and that the Governor was previously a bona fide member of the party before his earlier exit.

 

“We all know that Zamfara has long been one of the APC’s stronghold states, where the defected Governor was once a bona fide member. Now that he has decided to return home, having been satisfied that the APC remains his second choice after the one he left for obvious reasons,” Maikatako stated.

 

The Chairman called on all party faithful across the 147 wards in the state’s 14 local government areas to turn out en masse to honour the Vice President’s visit. He emphasized that the event was strategically positioned to bolster the party’s popularity and strengthen its structures ahead of the 2027 general elections.

 

In a strong appeal for unity, Maikatako urged members to set aside all factional tendencies, stressing that the APC remained one political family with shared goals, particularly the ambition to make Zamfara and Nigeria great again.

 

Echoing similar sentiments, a former state APC Chairman, Lawal M. Liman, appealed to members to cascade the message to their wards and local government areas. He reinforced the need for cohesion, noting that the party’s collective strength would be critical to achieving success in future elections.
