Jigawa State Governor, Muhammad Baduru Abubakar, has denied reports indicating that President Muhammadu Buhari has endorsed Senator Abdullahi Adamu for the position of the national chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

Governor Badaru made the clarification while fielding questions on the BBC Hausa Service, monitored in Lafia, on Monday.

When asked to comment on the meeting held between the APC governors and President Buhari, the Jigawa governor confirmed that the meeting held but that President Buhari did not endorsed any particular candidate at the meeting.

After the reporter insisted on the governor to clarify media reports suggesting that President Buhari may have endorsed the former Nasarawa State governor, Badaru was emphatic.

“Buhari did not endorsed Senator Abdullahi Adamu. He only expressed his desire for the party to agree on a consensus candidate and that the North Central should produce the national chairman,” he was quoted as saying.

On insinuations that agitations for the position of the national chairman may have divided the APC, Governor Badaru dismissed such insinuations, saying that the governors of the APC are united and that they will work together to actualize the vision President Buhari has for the party.

“We are not divided. We are awaiting directives from our leader, President Buhari and whatever direction he gives us, we will follow accordingly,” he stated.

Governor Badaru further denied allegations that himself, governors of Kebbi and Kaduna states are bent on causing problems for the party ahead of the March 26 national convention.

This clarification by the Jigawa State governor, is coming admist persistent media reports suggesting that Buhari has endorsed Senator Abdullahi Adamu for the position of the national chairman of the APC.
