The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kano State has rejected reports that it has withdrawn support for President Bola Tinubu’s second-term ambition, describing the claim as untrue.
In a statement issued on Saturday, the party’s State Publicity Secretary, Auwalu Abdullahi, said the report was attributed to a group identified as the Arewa APC Forum, Kano State Chapter. He said the claim does not reflect the position of the party.
The APC said the statement was false and intended to damage its reputation. It added that no recognised organ of the party in Kano had taken such a decision.
“The APC in Kano is aware of attempts by certain individuals and faceless groups to create confusion and disunity within the party.
“We wish to state categorically that this so-called forum is not known to the party structure and does not represent the views of APC members in Kano State.”
The party restated its backing for Tinubu and his administration. It said the Kano chapter remains committed to the President’s leadership and policies.
The statement also noted that the administration is focused on governance, economic reforms, and national development.
Under the leadership of Umar Doguwa, the Kano APC urged members of the party and the public to ignore the report. It described those behind it as individuals seeking to create tension.
“The so-called signatory of the purported withdrawal is faceless and not a stakeholder of the party at any level in Kano,” the statement read.
The party concluded by affirming its unity and continued support for Tinubu’s plans for the country.
