A former Governor of Nasarawa State, Senator Tanko Al-Makura, has said the supposed endorsement of Senator Abdullahi Adamu by President Muhammadu Buhari for the position of the national chairmanship of All Progressives Congress (APC), is still within the realms of speculation.
Media reports quoting sources,had alleged that Adamu, also a former governor of Nasarawa State is Buhari’s choice for position.
Weeks after the news broke however, the president himself or his aides were yet to confirm the development.
However, Senator Al-Makura, who currently represents Nasarawa South Senatorial District in the National Assembly, said the supposed endorsement of Adamu is far from authentic.
He said, “The sources of information were not authentic. They were not genuine. And I know what Mr. President stands for, he always stands for what is right and due process. And unless I have an authoritative source of information that is clear. I still have my doubts. I have many avenues through which I can reach Mr. President and people around him.
“And since those information did not come through those avenues, I consider them as a speculation. That is why as I speak with you, my campaign is going with a different tempo, to ensure that my campaign is going far and wide to await the next line of action as directed by the party leadership.”
