Senator Aminu Tambuwal’s media office has denied rumours that the veteran lawmaker is planning to defect to the All Progressives Congress (APC). The statements, issued in response to circulating reports, describe the alleged move as “false and baseless.”
In a brief release, Tambuwal’s representatives said the senator remains committed to his current political affiliation and has no intention of joining the APC. The office added that any claims of a party switch are unfounded and should be disregarded.
Defection rumours are not uncommon in Nigerian politics, where politicians sometimes switch parties ahead of elections. However, the media office has made it clear that no such decision has been made by Tambuwal.
With the APC being Nigeria’s ruling party, the senator’s denial comes amid a broader context of political realignment in the country. No further comment has been issued at this time.
