Yobe Gov, Buni disowns Atiku’s coalition


Yobe State Governor, Mai Mala Buni, has said he is not joining the opposition leaders’ coalition being championed by former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar.
This was made known in a statement by the Director-General, Press and Media Affairs, Alhaji Mamman Mohammed, in Damaturu,.
Our correspondent reports that a viral text message had claimed that Buni and four other APC governors had finalised arrangements to defect to the opposition PDP and join the coalition before the 2027 general elections.
In his reaction, Mohammed labelled the viral message as baseless fabrications, unwarranted imagination and assumptions that did not cross path with reality in any way, shape and form.
“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 makes him unique and whose imagination of leaving the party cannot be speculated,” he said.
