BEVERLY HILLS, August 02, (THEWILL) – Kano State Deputy Governor, Prof. Hafiz Abubakar has denied reports that he defected from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to the opposition People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
The reports of his defection followed a statement by the main opposition party, Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, welcoming him and Sokoto state Governor Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, who formally defected to the party on Wednesday.
Denying the claim and reports, Abubakar however, noted that he would take a decision on his political future at an appropriate time, after consultations.
“I have not resigned; I am still the deputy governor of Kano State. I am currently in Abuja attending an official function, that is the National Council of Education meeting,” he told journalists.
“I will take decision on my political future at an appropriate time after due consultation with my political leaders”.
THEWILL recalls that Abubakar had on July 30, petitioned the police and State Security Service (SSS) over threat to his life and plans by the state government to stage rally against him.
Abubakar, an ally of former Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso, has been at a crossroad with the state governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, for embrassing with Kwankwaso in the political impasse in the state.
