2027: Kebbi gov, Idris clears air on alleged plans to team up with Atiku

 Kebbi State Governor, Nasir Idris, has firmly denied rumours
linking him and four other governors to plans of defecting from the All
Progressives Congress (APC).

 

There is currently growing confusion within the ruling APC
in Kebbi State following widespread rumours that Governor Idris may be planning
to defect to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) ahead of the 2027 general
elections.

 

The speculation was fueled by a viral report which named
Idris among five serving APC governors who are said to be considering joining
forces with the 2023 PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, in a bid to
unseat President Bola Tinubu in 2027.

 

However in a statement issued on Sunday, the governor
described the speculation as “ridiculously malicious” and the work of
“uninteresting political comedians.”

 

The statement, signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Ahmed
Idris, stressed the governor’s unwavering loyalty to the APC.

 

Reacting to social media reports suggesting his involvement
in a coalition allegedly led by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Idris
stated, “I am made in APC, by APC, and for APC. I am not a political prostitute.
I will be the last person to leave my formidable and reliable party for any
coalition, no matter who the architects are.”

 

Popularly known as Kauran Gwandu, Governor Idris reaffirmed
his commitment to the people of Kebbi State and his support for President Bola
Tinubu’s administration.

 

“If they tell you again that Kaura is likely to leave his
APC, tell them I will be the last man standing,” he declared.

 

The statement further dismissed any notion of defection from
the party, describing such rumours as a “dance of mad fellows in the
marketplace.”

 

Governor Idris assured that Kebbi State remains a stronghold
of the APC.
