Abuja (Sundiata Post) – Gubernatorial Candidate of the Labour in Kano State, Alhaji Bashir Ishaq Bashir has debunked media reports that he was planning to defect to the All Peoples’ Congrss.
A statement by the spokesman of the Obi/Datti Campaign, Dr Yunusa Tanko quoted Alhaji Bashir as saying that the wide spread rumours of his defection he was defecting to APC with two serial known transactional light politicians as u true.
Said he, “we are in Labour Party, (LP) to succeed and form a Government come 2023 by the grace God.”
Alhaji Bashir was further quotes as saying, ” my attention has been drawn to the widespread rumour going round that I’m defecting to APC, with two serial known transactional lightweight politicians. This reaction is necessitated by the number of calls, text messages and visitations I received this morning on the growing speculations and rumours being peddled across social media platforms in the state to the effect that I will be pitching tent with APC.
“This information is false, baseless and without any iota of credibility. One doesn’t leave certainty for uncertainty. Labour Party, and ObiDatti are synonymous with all that is needed to salvage.
“Our County from political mercenaries and failed leadership under the contraption called APC and it’s Siamese twin the PDP.
This is to bring to the notice of the general public, especially our millions of supporters across Nigeria and in the diaspora.
“I am a card carrying member of our great party the LP and the Gubernatorial Candidate of the Party in Kano State. I believe in the ideals and Leadership standards of OBI and Datti and will continue to support them with all we have got.
“Campaigns of calumny, mudslinging and mischief are the stock-in-trade of the people spreading these rumours. They are people who have an uncommon ability not to be embarrassed by any scandal.
“Labour Party has become a moving train, anything or anyone standing in its way is doing so at his or her own risk.
“The people have awakened, the young men and women have taken their destinies in their hands. There’s No stopping us.
“The ONLY thing between us and success is Time, and by The Grace of The Almighty, Time, this time around is on our side!”
