Monday, April 28, 2025 -Yobe State Governor, Mai Mala Buni, has denied any involvement in the opposition coalition reportedly being spearheaded by former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar and other opposition figures ahead of the 2027 elections.
In a statement issued by Mamman Mohammed, the
director-general of press and media affairs in the governor’s office, Buni
dismissed claims circulating in a viral message that he and four other All
Progressives Congress (APC) governors were finalising plans to defect to the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The statement described the reports as "baseless
fabrications, unwarranted imagination, and assumptions that did not cross paths
with reality in any way, shape, and form."
According to Mohammed, the author of the message lacked the
proximity or understanding of Buni’s political stance to make such predictions.
He emphasised that Buni is deeply rooted in the APC, noting his significant
contributions as a two-term National Secretary and former National Chairman who
chaired the party’s convention committee.
“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,"
the statement read. Mohammed further stated that those spreading the rumour
were motivated by admiration for Buni’s political experience and wished they
had someone of his calibre within their ranks, calling it “wishful thinking.”
