Muraina's Aide Dismisses APC Expulsion as Irrelevant
The political camp of former lawmaker Rt. Hon. Dr Saubana Ajibola Muraina has rejected reports of his expulsion from the All Progressives Congress (APC), asserting that the action was irrelevant as he had already defected to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Muraina's Press Secretary, Engr. Laolu Adeyemo, clarified that Muraina had joined the PDP and emerged as its candidate for the Ibarapa Central/Ibarapa North Federal Constituency in the 2027 House of Representatives election prior to the APC's reported expulsion on September 29, 2026. Adeyemo emphasized that the APC's statement acknowledged Muraina's defection and candidacy, questioning the rationale behind expelling someone no longer affiliated with the party.
He insisted that Muraina's current political status was well-known and urged stakeholders and the media to recognize the timeline of events to avoid confusion regarding his party affiliation. Muraina is focused on the upcoming election and serving the people of his constituency.
