Former Minister of Transport under the Buhari administration, Mu’azu Jaji Sambo, has reaffirmed his commitment to the All Progressives Congress, declaring he has no plans to defect to any other political party.

Sambo, who served as the Taraba State Coordinator for the Tinubu/Shettima Presidential Campaign Council in the 2023 elections, made his position known through his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Dr. Sam Idiagbonya.

“Mu’azu Jaji Sambo goes nowhere; he is core APC. My principal believes in the Renewed Hope Agenda of His Excellency, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, and he believes that soon, Nigerians will begin to reap its dividends,” Idiagbonya said.

He added that it would be unreasonable for Sambo to consider leaving the party after playing a key role in the campaign that brought the current administration to power. “After serving as the 2023 PCC campaign coordinator that brought the government of the day to power, it would be foolhardy to say he is decamping.”

“Sambo is a loyalist and a gentleman who deeply believes in the Nigerian project. He remains an APC member,” Idiagbonya further stated.

Highlighting his principal’s vision for Taraba State, he said Sambo believes the state has the potential to play a significant role in achieving the Renewed Hope administration’s goal of a one trillion-dollar economy, particularly through agriculture.

Sambo also called on the people of Taraba to remain committed and work collectively with the government to build a better future for the state.
