Senator Sunday Marshall Katung of Kaduna South has dismissed circulating social‑media speculation 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.
While acknowledging the dynamic nature of the political landscape, his team stressed that any significant decisions would be communicated officially and transparently. The rumors were described as “needless distractions” from Senator Katung’s primary focus on effective representation, legislative excellence, and attracting development projects to the Kaduna South Senatorial District. The team urged the media, constituents, and the public to disregard the speculation and to verify information through official channels.
As a PDP representative in Kaduna South, Senator Katung continues to work on delivering his campaign promises and improving the lives of his constituents. The denial of defection rumors comes at a time when political alignments are being closely watched in Nigeria, especially with upcoming elections. The PDP and APC are the two major parties in the country, historically engaged in intense competition. Katung’s reaffirmed loyalty to the PDP is significant given the party’s role in Nigerian politics and its efforts to regain power in future elections.
With the rumors dismissed, Senator Katung has reassured his constituents and party loyalists of his dedication to the PDP’s ideals and objectives. His focus on representation, legislative excellence, and development projects is expected to continue, as his team works to address the needs and concerns of the people of Kaduna South. As the political landscape evolves, Katung’s stance on party affiliation underscores the importance of clear communication and transparency in politics.
