The governor of Yobe State, Mai Mala-Buni has debunked claims that he has finalised plans to resign from the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Buni in a statement issued on Sunday by his media aide, Mamman Abubakar described the claim as wishful thinking.
According to reports, the governor, alongside four other colleagues, had put plans in place to defect from the APC and join the coalition campaign championed by Atiku Abubakar, a former vice president of Nigeria and two-time presidential candidate for the People’s Democratic Party.
However, in his reaction, Mala-Buni said such claim is a baseless fabrication, an unwarranted imagination and assumptions that failed to cross paths with reality.
Abubakar said, “Buni is no ordinary member of APC; he is not just an APC governor. He is APC in all ramifications, with APC flowing in his veins.
“His contributions to building APC as a two-term National Secretary and National Chairman who chaired the party’s convention committee make him unique, and whose imagination of leaving the party cannot be speculated.
“It must be wishful thinking,” he stated.
