Former Sokoto Governor Bafarawa Denies Joining APC Ahead of 2027 Elections

Attahiru Bafarawa, a former Sokoto Governor, has denied joining the APC despite reports suggesting his affiliation. Bafarawa, who resigned from the PDP in January 2025, remains a prominent figure in Nigerian politics.

He endorsed the incumbent Governor Ahm Aliyu for a second term, emphasizing personal support over party affiliation. Bafarawa had briefly joined the SDP after leaving the PDP.

His political stance is crucial as Sokoto State witnesses a political realignment ahead of the 2027 elections.
