Former National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, has dismissed viral posters alleging that he has defected to the New Democratic Congress (NDC), insisting that he remains committed to the party.

Ganduje, a former governor of Kano State, said he is not a nomadic politician or a vulture “flying from one tree to another” in pursuit of personal ambition or political convenience.

In a statement issued by his former Commissioner for Information and Chief of Staff, Muhammad Garba, Ganduje described the posters circulating on social media as a calculated campaign of misinformation aimed at misleading the public, creating confusion among APC members and generating unnecessary political speculation.

He maintained that he has remained consistent in his political convictions and has never contemplated leaving the APC, a party he once served as national chairman.

Ganduje said it was false and illogical for anyone to suggest that he had joined the NDC, stressing that such claims lacked political and logical basis.

The former national chairman of the APC stated that the ruling party remains Nigeria’s largest and most formidable political platform, enjoying growing acceptance across the country under the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

He described the circulation of the posters as the handiwork of desperate political mischief makers bent on tarnishing his reputation and creating anxiety within the party.

Ganduje disclosed that those responsible for producing and circulating the posters had been identified, warning that legal action would be taken against them if they fail to withdraw the materials and desist from further dissemination.

He urged APC members, supporters and the general public to disregard the posters, insisting that they do not reflect his political position or intentions.

Ganduje reaffirmed his commitment to working with President Tinubu and the APC leadership to consolidate the gains of the Renewed Hope Agenda and strengthen the party ahead of future political engagements.

He also urged the public to rely only on official communications from him and the appropriate organs of the APC on matters relating to his political activities.
