The Deputy Governor of Jigawa State, Aminu Usman, has refuted speculation suggesting he is planning to defect to the African Democratic Congress.
Usman addressed the issue on Monday during a meeting with stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress at the Government House in Dutse, where he described the reports as unfounded.
He explained that his attention had been drawn to what he termed misleading information circulating on social media, alleging that he intended to leave the ruling party.
According to him, the rumours were deliberately fabricated by certain individuals pursuing personal interests.
“I want to make it clear that I remain a member of the APC and I have no plan to join any other party. We have been working peacefully with Governor Umar Namadi from the beginning to this day,” he said.
The deputy governor also reiterated his support for the current administration as preparations gradually begin for the 2027 general elections.
“Those who witnessed the 2023 general election know it was the Danmodi-Rola ticket. By the grace of God, it will be another Danmodi-Rola ticket in 2027,” he added.
He cautioned those responsible for spreading the claims to desist, warning that such misinformation could trigger unnecessary political tension within the state.
