The eight suspended members of the Zamfara State House of Assembly have denied reports of their return to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The lawmakers clarified that their recent meeting with President Bola Tinubu was to discuss issues surrounding their suspension and unpaid entitlements.
The delegation, led by the Minister of State for Defence and former Zamfara State Governor, Dr. Bello Matawalle, had recently resigned from the APC before the Monday meeting at the Presidential Villa.
Speaking on behalf of the group, the members representing Bakura Constituency, Ibrahim Tukur Bakura, dismissed the online media reports as false and misleading.
“Neither have we decamped to the APC nor promised to return to the APC. What took us to the Villa was to discuss the problem of why we were suspended, our pending entitlements and how to resolve it. If we decide to return to the APC officially, I will personally call journalists and other important media houses and brief them.”
He assured the public that any political realignment in the future would be officially communicated.
