Kebbi State Governor, Dr. Nasir Idris, has dismissed rumours suggesting that he and four other governors are planning to defect from the All Progressives Congress.
In a press statement on Sunday, the governor described the reports as “ridiculously malicious” and the handiwork of “uninteresting political comedians.”
Reacting to the social media speculation linking him to a coalition led by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Idris reaffirmed his loyalty to the APC, declaring that he is “made in APC, by APC, and for APC.”
“For the avoidance of doubt, I am not a political prostitute. I will be the last person to leave my formidable and reliable party for any coalition, no matter who the architects are,” the governor stated.
Idris, popularly known as Kauran Gwandu, emphasised his commitment to the people of Kebbi State and the vision of President Bola Tinubu, noting that his focus remains on delivering good governance and consolidating on the successes of the APC.
“If they tell you again that Kaura is likely to leave his APC, tell them I will be the last man standing,” he declared.
The statement, signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Ahmed Idris, stressed that Kebbi State remains a stronghold of the APC and dismissed any notion of disloyalty as a “dance of mad fellows in the marketplace.”
Idris concluded by reassuring Kebbi citizens of his steadfast dedication to their welfare and the continued growth of the state under the APC banner.
