The All Progressives Congress, APC, in Nasarawa State has dismissed claims that a former National Chairman of the party, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, has defected to the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
A statement issued by the party’s State Organising Secretary and Coordinator of the APC e-membership registration exercise, Hassan Abubakar, on Thursday in Lafia, described the reports as baseless propaganda deliberately aimed at misleading the public and causing confusion within the APC.
The statement explained that Senator Adamu, a former governor of Nasarawa State, remains a committed and card-carrying member of the APC and is not thinking of defecting to any other political party.
For the avoidance of doubt, Abubakar stated that Sen. Abdullahi Adamu, at no time, defected, contemplated defection, or associated himself with any other political party.
Abubakar explained, “The photograph being circulated online as evidence of the alleged defection was taken during the ongoing APC e-membership registration and revalidation exercise, a nationwide programme aimed at strengthening the party’s database and internal democracy.”
The statement said the image clearly showed Sen. Adamu revalidating his APC membership in line with the party’s constitutional processes and reform agenda.
The party said that the news amounted to deliberate misinformation, describing it as irresponsible, politically desperate and an attempt by unnamed individuals to misrepresent a legitimate party activity as a defection.
He said Sen. Adamu’s loyalty and contributions to the growth and stability of the APC are well-documented and remain unquestionable, urging its members, the media, and the general public to disregard the claims and rely only on verified information from credible sources.
It reaffirmed that the APC in Nasarawa State and across the country remains united and focused on advancing progressive governance.
