As Kaduna State heads to the polls for its local government bye-elections, the state chapter of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, has denied any form of coalition with a former governor of the state, Nasir El-Rufai.
ADC also dismissed any form of coalition with the Social Democratic Party, SDP, in the state.
There will be bye-elections in Kajuru/Chikun Federal Constituency, Zaria, and Sabon Gari Constituency.
A few days ago, El-Rufai, a key member of the opposition coalition that adopted the ADC at the national level, had entered Kaduna to a rousing welcome by members of the SDP.
However, the State Chairman, Ahmad Tijjani Mustapha, said ADC’s link to El-Rufai was aimed at confusing the public.
Mustapha stressed that El-Rufai is neither a member nor an official of the ADC.
“The ADC in Kaduna State is not in any coalition or alliance with the SDP or any other political party in the state. There is no written or verbal agreement to that effect,” he said.
