Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) has refuted reports that it endorsed ex-Lagos State Governor, Bola Tinubu for President.<\/p>\n

The body said the position of individuals on who succeeds President Muhammadu Buhari in 2023 should not be regarded as a general one.<\/p>\n

MACBAN National Secretary, Baba Ngelzarma issued a rebuttal on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The scribe stressed that the association respects the ambition of all aspirants and was yet to pitch its tent with any of them.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe attention of MACBAN headquarters has been drawn to stories in the media claiming that we have endorsed the presidential aspiration of Sen. Ahmed Tinubu.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to make it clear that the association has not endorsed any candidate. Those who endorsed Tinubu are doing so as individuals.<\/p>\n

\u201cMACBAN should not in any way be dragged into the politics of endorsement at this stage,\u201d Ngelzarma said.<\/p>\n

On January 10, Tinubu formally informed Buhari of his desire to become the All Progressives Congress (APC) flagbearer.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, the party chapter in Lagos accused opponents of making unsubstantiated claims to scuttle the APC leader\u2019s bid.<\/p>\n
