Former Vice President Namadi Sambo has denied claims that he has left the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the All Progressives Congress (APC). The speculation, which gained traction on Wednesday, stemmed from a circulated photograph showing Sambo alongside Kaduna State Governor, Uba Sani. However, in a statement released on Thursday by his media adviser, Umar Sani, the former Vice President dismissed the reports, clarifying that the photo in question is old. Sani emphasized that Sambo remains a committed and loyal member of the PDP and has no plans to defect to any other party. “My attention has been drawn to a widely circulated story alleging that His Excellency, Arc. Mohammed Namadi Sambo, GCON, former Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, has defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC). This claim is entirely false and without any basis. “Following numerous calls and inquiries, I have taken the liberty on the authority of His Excellency’s family to issue this formal rebuttal. I categorically state that the story is a fabrication, laced with mischief and aimed at misleading the public. “The photograph supporting this falsehood, showing His Excellency with the Governor of Kaduna State, Senator Uba Sani, is not recent. It was taken years ago during a condolence visit by the Governor to His Excellency’s residence in Abuja, following the demise of his brother, the late Sani Sambo. The image is now being deliberately misrepresented to fit a contrived narrative. “Furthermore, His Excellency is scheduled to attend the commissioning of a 300-bed hospital in Kaduna on Thursday, 19th June 2025. This project, which he initiated during his time in office, stands as a testament to his enduring commitment to public service and the development of Kaduna State.
