Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Senator Sabo Muhammad Nakudu of Jigawa Central Senatorial district has debunked rumour being circulated over his alleged plan to defect to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.<\/p>\n

Nakudu refuted the claims while speaking to journalists after a closed-door meeting with Governor Abubakar in Dutse.<\/p>\n

This is coming at a time when there are rumours of a political rift between him and the governor ahead of the 2023 general election.<\/p>\n

He described the rumours as political gimmicks by mischievous elements that do not wish the All Progressives Congress well.<\/p>\n

DAILY POST reported that the State Working Committee of the All Progressives Congress, APC, sacked the state Acting Chairman Habibu Sara over alleged mismanagement of party funds.<\/p>\n

Sara, however, while responding to his sack claimed he was removed because of his loyalty to the Senator Sabo Nakudu who is eyeing the Gubernatorial ticket come 2023.<\/p>\n

He noted that the alleged misunderstanding between him and Governor Badaru and his alleged plan to dump the party for PDP is baseless and unfounded.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a true and sincere member of the APC, I am absolutely loyal and obedient to Governor Muhammad Badaru Abubakar and I urged party supporters to disregard the rumours\u201d<\/p>\n

Governor Muhammad Badaru Abubakar also re-affirmed that there was no political misunderstanding between him and Senator Sabo Nakudu as being speculated by some party members.<\/p>\n

The Governor described his relationship with Nakudu as very cordial and advised party supporters to shun rumour mongering for the progress of APC<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
