Yahaya Bello has demanded an immediate apology from Tribune, otherwise, he will take legal action against the newspaper.
Yahaya Bello reassured the APC of his unflinching support for the party and the candidate, adding that his strength among the youth demography is already sending fear to the enemies who are threatened by his capacity.
This publication is coming after another publication by Sahara Reporters, suggesting that Yahaya Bello is forming an alliance with the PDP, a story the state described as fake.
