The governor of Kogi state, Yahaya Bello, who was involved in an accident during the Easter holiday, was spotted earlier on Tuesday as he walked into the presidential villa in Abuja on crutches.

Governor Bello is at the villa with other APC Governors to discuss a crucial issue about the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) with President Muhammadu Buhari, as some APC governors are not happy that Buhari opted out of the plan to elongate Oyegun’s tenure.

Bello was the one who announced the extension of Oyegun’s tenure at the end of the national executive committee (NEC) of the party in February.

Before Buhari walked into the venue of Tuesday’s meeting, a governor was heard saying: “This coup will not stand.”

TheCable had reported that the news of the governor's accident had led to different speculations in the state, with some saying he had been incapacitated.

Meanwhile, the spokesman of the governor, Kingsley Fanwo, had earlier issued a statement to deny that his principal’s condition was critical.

The statement read; “We wish to refute speculations in some quarters that the Governor of Kogi State, His Excellency, Alhaji Yahaya Bello, is either hospitalised or otherwise incapacitated.

“The governor missed his footing last Friday, March 30, 2018, while alighting from a vehicle and injured his left foot. He was treated by his doctors, who bandaged the leg and discharged him.

“We thank all the Governor’s supporters and well-wishers who reached us to inquire after his wellbeing. His Excellency is doing very well and will be at work as usual after the Easter holidays.“
