“I am made in APC, by APC, and for APC,” Governor Idris said, dismissing rumors of defection.
Governor Nasir Idris of Kebbi State has firmly denied reports suggesting he plans to defect from the All Progressives Congress (APC), describing the rumors as false, malicious, and a “huge joke cracked by the most uninteresting political comedians.”
In a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Ahmed Idris, the Governor clarified his stance, insisting he remains committed to the APC.
According to the statement, Governor Idris said that ordinarily he would have ignored the “baseless rumors,” likening them to “mad fellows dancing naked in the marketplace.” However, for the sake of clarity, he categorically stated that he is not a political turncoat.
“I am made in APC, by APC, and for APC,” he declared, stressing that he would be the last person to abandon his reliable and formidable party for any coalition, regardless of its architects and builders.
The statement further emphasized that Governor Idris is a leader deeply loved by the people of Kebbi State, who are themselves overwhelmingly loyal to the APC.
“He cannot and will not abandon his people to embrace political strangers,” the statement added.
