Borno's Gov Zulum Denies Plan To Defect To ADC

Borno State governor, Prof Babagana Zulum has denied reports that he planned to defect from the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, to the African Democratic Congress, ADC.
Zulum spoke in a statement on Sunday by his spokesperson, Malam Dauda Iliya, describing the reports as false and baseless.
According to him, the rumour making the rounds in a section of the online media was a fabrication by “unscrupulous elements seeking cheap relevance," insisting that 
 there was no truth in the claim that he, alongside five other governors, were planning to join the ADC.
The statement read, “We are aware of a fictitious and mischievous social media report circulating in certain quarters, alleging plans by me to decamp from the APC to the ADC, alongside five other governors.
“This is entirely false and exists only in the imagination of its sponsors. 
“They are detractors who have made no meaningful contribution to the progress of Borno State or Nigeria. 
“It is a classic example of cheap, politically motivated speculation designed solely to distract us and create unnecessary political tension.
