Borno State Governor, Babagana Zulum, has denied reports suggesting he is planning to dump the All Progressives Congress (APC) for African Democratic Congress (ADC).
Gatekeepers News reports that the speculation, which circulated widely on social media, claimed that Zulum and five other APC Governors were preparing to defect from the ruling party.
Reacting in a statement issued on Sunday, the Governor debunked the claims, labeling them as “fabricated lies” crafted by political opponents intent on sowing discord.
He said, “ “This is entirely false and exists only in the imagination of its sponsors.”
“They are detractors who have made no meaningful contribution to the progress of Borno State or Nigeria.”
“It is a classic example of cheap, politically motivated speculation designed solely to
distract us and create unnecessary political tension.”
Zulum reaffirmed his unwavering commitment to APC, saying his focus remains firmly on the development and rebuilding of Borno State.
The Governor also urged citizens and media outlets to rely solely on verified information from official channels.
He said, “I urge the good people of Borno and the general public to disregard this fabrication. We have no time for cheap politics; our hands are full with the noble task of rebuilding and developing our dear state.”
“We remain resolute in our commitment to serving Borno state under the banner of our great party, the APC.”
