Niger state Governor Sani Bello has debunked reports stating that he will plot the emergence of his successor.
Mary Noel-Berje, chief press secretary to the governor, disclosed this in a statement, revealing that the governor had said, "I don't have idea of what they are talking about. As a loyal party man, I am bounded by the APC's modus operandi, in which case, its the party in the state that has the responsibility to decide how my successor will emerge and not me. No one single-handedly gave me the party's ticket before my emergence. My candidature was a product of a transparent and fair party process. So, it is only fair that I allow the party to do its work."
The governor mentioned that the story is an imagination of the author as it lacked substance, merit and was based on speculations.
Noting that such report is malicious and an attempt to distract the attention of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Governor Bello urged citizens of the state to disregard the report.
He said that he would remain focused and committed to serving the people, adding that media to always cross-check facts before going to the press.
