Former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Boss Mustapha, has denied reports claiming he has left the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
In a statement issued on Sunday, Mustapha described the reports as fake news, urging the public to disregard the claim.
“My attention has been drawn to a news story in circulation associating me with the opposition alliance and their choice of the ADC as their political party,” he said. “I want the general public to know that this is fake news. I am not in any opposition alliance, and I am not in any discussion with those who are involved.”
Mustapha, who served as SGF from 2017 to 2023, said he remains committed to the APC, which he described as a party he helped to build.
“I am a principal founding father of the APC. While the party, like any political group, has its challenges, the solution lies in fixing it from within, not jumping ship,” he added.
He called on Nigerians to ignore any speculation linking him with any opposition party or alliance.
The clarification comes amid growing rumours about political realignments ahead of future elections.
