A former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, has distanced himself from the report that he has dumped the ruling All Progressives Congress for the opposition coalition, African Democratic Congress.
Mustapha, in a statement on Sunday, described the reports as fake news, stressing that he has not engaged in any discussions with members of the opposition or their coalition partners.
“My attention has been drawn to a news story in circulation associating me with the opposition alliance and their choice of the ADC as their political party.
“I want the general public to know that this is fake news. I am not in any opposition alliance, and I am not in any discussion with those who are involved,” the statement read in parts.
Mustapha said he is a founding father of the APC, adding that he could not walk away from the party he helped to form.
The former SGF said while the APC, like any political organisation, has its challenges, the solution is to work from within rather than defect to another platform.
He, therefore, called on the public to disregard any speculation suggesting otherwise.
