Senator Umaru Tanko Al-makura has disassociate himself from insinuations making the rounds that he is campaigning for SDP candidate against Governor Abdullahi Sule of the APC. A statement issued in Lafia and signed by his media aide Mr Danjuma Joseph indicated thus: “The attention of His Excellency, Senator Umaru Tanko Al-Makura, has been drawn to the mischievous and fake news published by Nasarawa Mirror on Monday, 01/03/2023.

The fake news is coming from jobless politicians and rumour mongers who take pleasure in giving dog a bad name in order to hang it.”

The statement further stressed that Senator Al-Makura, no matter the circumstances, has never in his wildest imagination, contemplated working against his party, APC and its candidates, simply because he lost an election, saying:

” Senator Al-Makura, is a bonafide member of APC, whose commitment to campaign for Gov Abdullahi Sule and other candidates of the ruling party in his zone, remain unshakable, towards ensuring they emerge victorious”

” The general public is hereby enjoined to disregard this rumour and fake news from detractors seeking to cause confusion among members of the APC”
