Mohammed Badaru, the former Minister of Defence, has denied reports that he is considering joining the African Democratic Congress (ADC). In a statement posted on his official Facebook page on Tuesday, Badaru dismissed the circulating rumors as baseless and attributed them to political mischief. As a founding leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), he reaffirmed his commitment to the party and urged the public and party members to disregard the speculation.
Badaru emphasized that he has no intention of leaving the APC, the party he helped build. His clarification comes at a time when political alliances and affiliations are being closely watched in the region, and the APC is experiencing internal dynamics, with some members reportedly exploring other options. By reiterating his loyalty, Badaru aims to reassure party members and bolster morale.
The former minister’s denial helps calm speculation about a possible defection to the ADC and underscores the importance of verifying information in the public domain, especially regarding political affiliations. As the political landscape evolves and parties prepare for future elections, Badaru’s statement serves as a reminder of the need for clarity and precision in reporting political developments.
