Kebbi State Governor Nasir Idris says a report circulating on social media saying he and four other governors were planning to dump their party, the APC, and join a coalition is false.
In a statement released by his Chief Press Secretary on Tuesday Governor Idris said the report may be the handiwork of the former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, working with some other politicians.
The statement quotes the governor as saying he would have chosen to ignore the report, but for the avoidance of doubt.
“Idris wishes to state categorically that he is not a political prostitute; he is made in APC by APC and for APC. He will be the last person to leave his reliable and formidable party for any coalition, no matter who the architects and builders are,” the statement said.

It also said that, “Nasir Idris is a leader who loves his people. The people of Kebbi State love him with a passion and beyond comment.
The people of Kebbi State are completely in APC, and he can therefore not afford to abandon his people and embrace strangers,” the statement added.
According to Governor Nasir, “I’m completely focused on making Kebbi State better, and consolidating the gains and successes of the APC party, and the leader, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
If they tell you again that Nasir is likely to leave his APC, tell them I will be the last man standing,” the governor concluded.
