Former Sokoto State Governor and Senator Aminu Waziri Tambuwal has rejected reports claiming he intends to leave the African Democratic Congress (ADC) for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Tambuwal’s position was conveyed in a statement issued on Monday by his Special Adviser on Media and Strategy, Prince Daniel, on behalf of the AWT Media Office.
The statement described the reports circulating on social media as false and baseless, insisting that the senator had no plans to join the APC.
According to his media office, Tambuwal’s interactions with politicians across party lines should not be interpreted as evidence of an impending political defection.
It also dismissed photographs and video clips shared online, arguing that they did not establish that the former governor was negotiating to join the ruling party.
The senator’s media office maintained that his political relationships extend beyond party affiliations and should not be used to suggest a change in allegiance.
“Senator Tambuwal remains firmly committed to the ADC,” the statement said.
It added that the senator was focused on strengthening the party, fostering wider political cooperation and mobilising Nigerians ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Tambuwal’s media team also urged Nigerians to pay greater attention to the country’s economic, security and governance challenges rather than rely on unverified political claims.
It said the senator remained committed to accountable leadership, democratic principles and the welfare of Nigerians.
The statement further called on media organisations and social media commentators to verify information concerning Tambuwal with his media office before publishing it.
“Speculation must never be presented as fact,” it added.
