Former Governor of Sokoto State and one-time presidential candidate, Alhaji Attahiru Bafarawa, has denied reports that he has joined the Social Democratic Party (SDP).
Speaking through his media aide, Dr. Abubakar Umar, on Tuesday in Sokoto, Bafarawa dismissed the claim as false and misleading.
He emphasized that he remains inactive in politics, having previously stepped away from partisan engagements.
“I have not granted any media interview, nor am I in consultation with any group regarding this matter,” Bafarawa stated.
He urged journalists to verify information before publication and revealed that he and his associates are investigating the source of the false reports.
The former governor also used the opportunity to remind the public of the significance of Ramadan, stressing that the holy month should be a time for gratitude, charity, and helping the less privileged, rather than spreading rumors.
“This is a season for sharing food, not spreading falsehoods,” he said.
