TLDR

  • The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kano State has refuted claims of withdrawing support for President Bola Tinubu.
  • The party's spokesperson stated that the alleged statement came from an unrecognized group and aimed to tarnish the party's image.
  • Kano APC reaffirmed its commitment to Tinubu's administration and urged the public to disregard the false claims.

The Kano State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has issued a strong rebuttal to a fabricated statement purporting a withdrawal of support for President Bola Tinubu's second-term bid. This baseless claim, attributed to a non-existent "Arewa APC Forum, Kano State Chapter," is nothing more than a malicious attempt to sow discord and undermine the party's unwavering commitment to the President's leadership.

The APC in Kano is aware of attempts by certain individuals and faceless groups to create confusion and disunity within the party.

— Auwalu AbdullahiKano State Publicity Secretary of the APC, refuting claims of withdrawal of support for President Tinubu.

Our party in Kano, under the astute guidance of Umar Doguwa, stands united and resolute in its support for President Tinubu and his administration. We unequivocally state that no recognized or constitutionally sanctioned organ within the APC has made any such decision. The individuals behind this falsehood are clearly mischief-makers seeking to create unnecessary tension and confusion among party faithful and the general public.

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.

— Auwalu AbdullahiKano State Publicity Secretary of the APC, clarifying the status of the group making the claims.

We urge all members and the public to dismiss this misleading statement entirely. The APC in Kano remains focused on the President's agenda of good governance, economic reform, and national development. The purported signatory of this false withdrawal is not a stakeholder of the party at any level in Kano, further highlighting the spurious nature of this fabrication. Our unity is our strength, and our support for President Tinubu's vision for a better Nigeria is absolute.

The so-called signatory of the purported withdrawal is faceless and not a stakeholder of the party at any level in Kano.

— Auwalu AbdullahiKano State Publicity Secretary of the APC, dismissing the credibility of the individuals behind the false statement.
