The Borno State Governor, Babagana Zulum, on Sunday dismissed claims on his intention to dump the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
There were reports on social media that Zulum and five other APC governors have concluded plans to join the ADC.
However, the governor, in a statement described the claim as fictitious and mischievous news fabricated by mischief makers.
Zulum said: “This is entirely false and exists only in the imagination of its sponsors. ”
“They are detractors who have made no meaningful contribution to the progress of Borno State or Nigeria.”
