He was listed among 17 aspirants screened for the primaries, ending earlier speculation that his ongoing EFCC case might block his bid. Bello is currently facing 19 counts of money laundering and criminal breach of trust involving billions of naira at the Federal High Court in Abuja, charges to which he has pleaded not guilty.
Bello, who governed Kogi State from 2016 to 2024, recently picked up the APC nomination forms. If he wins the primary, he will face the current senator, Natasha Akpoti‑Uduaghan of the PDP, in the general election.

ReplyDeleteOh Mai God
ReplyDeleteHe has been charged and facing trial. He is not yet sentenced so there won't be a legal reason to prevent him from contesting unlike Rev. Jolly Nyame who was prevented by a court ruling from advancing with his ambition to be senator on the basis of receiving clemency, not pardon
ReplyDeleteIt is those who let their fave vice Atiku and who are now romancing a suspected sponsor of terror that are complaining.
Leave sentiments. Legally, he has no hindrance till a court sentences him and based on his representation, it will take a while though the EFCC is eager to nail him.
