Aminu Tambuwal's Office Denies APC Defection Rumors
The media office of former Sokoto State Governor and Senator Aminu Tambuwal has dismissed reports suggesting he plans to defect from the African Democratic Congress (ADC) to the All Progressives Congress (APC). The office characterized these claims as false and baseless, affirming Tambuwal's commitment to the ADC and his focus on strengthening the party ahead of the 2027 general elections.
In a statement issued on Monday by Prince Daniel, Special Adviser on Media and Strategy, it was emphasized that there are no plans for Tambuwal to return to the APC. The statement urged the public to disregard speculation fueled by social media, clarifying that Tambuwal's interactions with politicians across party lines do not indicate a change of allegiance.
Tambuwal, who served as governor from 2015 to 2023 and was elected senator in 2023, has maintained a significant presence in Nigeria's opposition politics. His media office also called for a focus on pressing national issues rather than unsubstantiated claims about political affiliations.
