The Chairman of Danko-Wasagu Local Government Area in Kebbi State, Hussaini Aliyu Bena, who is also a prominent member of the All Progressives Congress, has firmly rejected rumors making rounds on social media about a political crisis within the state government. He specifically countered claims that the government has already picked a preferred candidate for the Zuru/Sakaba/Fakai/Danko-Wasagu Federal Constituency ahead of the 2027 elections.
Speaking at an event in Birnin Kebbi, Bena stated that the reports are entirely false and are being propagated by individuals who are not part of the APC and those who oppose the developmental achievements of the current administration. He reiterated that Governor Nasir Idris has not imposed any candidate on the party and that all interested aspirants are free to compete for party tickets without any interference.
According to Bena, the governor’s administration is committed to upholding internal democracy and fair political competition within the APC. He urged all party stakeholders in the state to ignore what he termed as misleading content on social media, emphasizing that such narratives will not undermine party unity in the region.
