Borno State Governor, Prof. Babagana Zulum, has dismissed the speculation in some sections of the media that he is planning to lead five other governors in defecting to the opposition coalition party, the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
Zulum, in a statement by his spokesperson, Dauda Iliya, at the weekend, described the rumour as an unfounded and baseless fabrication by unscrupulous elements seeking relevance, affirming his unalloyed loyalty to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
The statement quoted the governor as saying: “We have become aware of a fictitious and mischievous social media report circulating in certain quarters, alleging plans by me to decamp from the All Progressives Congress (APC) to the African Democratic Congress (ADC), alongside five other governors.
