Yobe State Governor, Mai Mala Buni, has said he has no plan to join the opposition coalition being promoted by some opposition leaders, including former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and Exodus State Governor, Nasir el-Rufai.
Buni’s stated this in a statement issued by Mamman Mohammed, the Director General of Press and Media Affairs in the Office of the Yobe State Governor.
A viral message on Saturday had claimed that Buni and four other All Progressives Congress (APC) governors were finalising plans to defect to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) ahead of the 2027 general elections.
This follows growing coalition talks among opposition politicians seeking to wrest power from the ruling APC ahead of the next general election.
However, Buni dismissed the claim of joining the coalition, describing it as “baseless fabrications, unwarranted imagination, and assumptions that did not cross paths with reality in any way, shape, and form.”
He said the author of the message had never been close enough to him to predict the his political movement.
“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,” the statement read.
According to Mohammed, the author and his paymasters must have been interested in Buni’s political sagacity and only wished they would have the likes of the governor.
“It must be wishful thinking,” he added.
