The Governor of Nasarawa State, Abdullahi Sule, has dismissed speculations that former President Muhammadu Buhari, former Attorney General Abubakar Malami, and others may leave the All Progressives Congress, APC, before the 2027 general election.
He stated this in response to rumours circulating that members of the defunct Congress for Progressive Change, CPC bloc were threatening to leave the APC after allegedly being sidelined by the Bola Tinubu administration.
Speaking in Lafia on Friday, Sule insisted that those attempting to divide the party’s ranks have failed.
“There is nothing like taking CPC away. Our father, former President Muhammadu Buhari is CPC, no other person.
“When he says CPC is with you, CPC is with you and the day he says CPC is not with you CPC is not with you.
“He keeps carrying his 12 million voters along with him anywhere he goes and he is not going anywhere from APC.
“Those trying to take away our good products from the APC will not succeed. They want to take Malami away, but let me tell you that Malami is going nowhere.
“That’s why we recently went to see Buhari in Kaduna and we said Baba you are not going anywhere,” Sule said.
In other news, Lere Olayinka, Senior Special Assistant on Public Communication and New Media to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, on Thursday claimed that former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and ex-Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi cannot work together.
Olayinka said Obi will not join the opposition coalition because he and Atiku cannot work together.
Featuring on Arise Television’s Morning Show, Olayinka insisted that Obi and Atiku won’t agree on who becomes the coalition’s presidential flag bearer in 2027.
