Governor Nasir Idris of Kebbi State has firmly denied reports claiming he and four other governors are plotting to defect from the All Progressives Congress (APC) to join a coalition led by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar in a bid to unseat President Bola Tinubu in 2027.
In a press statement issued on Sunday, Governor Idris described the reports as “ridiculously malicious” and the work of “uninteresting political comedians.”
Idris reaffirmed his loyalty to the APC, declaring he is not a political pr0stitute and will be the last person to leave the party.
He emphasised his commitment to the people of Kebbi State and the vision of President Bola Tinubu, noting that his focus remains on delivering good governance and consolidating on the successes of the APC.
Idris further dismissed any notion of disloyalty in Kebbi State, stressing that the state remains a stronghold of the APC.
The Governor reassured Kebbi citizens of his steadfast dedication to their welfare and the continued growth of the state under the APC platform.
He added, “For the avoidance of doubt, I am not a political pr0stitute. I will be the last person to leave my formidable and reliable party for any coalition, no matter who the architects are.
“If they tell you again that Kaura is likely to leave his APC, tell them I will be the last man standing.”
