Senator Sunday Marshall Katung of Kaduna South has dismissed speculation circulating on social media that he has defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC). In a statement released by his Special Adviser on Media and Communications, Midat Joseph, the senator reaffirmed his commitment to the PDP.
The statement, made available to the press in Kaduna on Thursday, emphasized that Senator Katung remains a dedicated member of the PDP, upholding the mandate given to him by the people of Kaduna South. The senator’s team acknowledged the dynamic nature of the political landscape but stressed that any significant decisions would be communicated officially and transparently.
The statement described the current rumors as “needless distractions” from Senator Katung’s primary focus on effective representation, legislative excellence, and attracting developmental projects to the Kaduna South Senatorial District. The senator’s team urged the media, constituents, and the general public to disregard the speculations, emphasizing the importance of verifying information through official channels.
As a representative of the PDP in Kaduna South, Senator Katung has been working to deliver on his campaign promises and improve the lives of his constituents. The denial of his defection rumors comes at a time when political alignments are being closely watched in Nigeria, particularly with the approach of future elections.
The PDP and APC are two of the major political parties in Nigeria, with a history of intense competition. The senator’s commitment to the PDP is significant, given the party’s role in Nigerian politics and its efforts to regain power in future elections. With the dismissal of the defection rumors, Senator Katung has reassured his constituents and party loyalists of his dedication to the PDP’s ideals and objectives.
The senator’s focus on representation, legislative excellence, and development projects is expected to continue, with his team working to address the needs and concerns of the people of Kaduna South. As the political landscape continues to evolve, Senator Katung’s stance on his party affiliation serves as a reminder of the importance of clear communication and transparency in politics.
