Former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, has dismissed as false and politically motivated reports suggesting he has defected to the New Democratic Congress (NDC), insisting he remains a loyal member of the ruling party.
In a statement issued by his former Commissioner for Information and Chief of Staff, Comrade Muhammad Garba, Ganduje described posters circulating on social media alleging his defection as the handiwork of “desperate political mischief makers” seeking to mislead the public and create confusion within the APC.
