Mallam Saliu Mustapha, the National Assembly senator for Kwara Central, has refuted allegations that he defected from the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Rumours regarding Mustapha’s potential departure from the APC began after a video of him speaking with former Senate President Dr. Bukola Saraki at a public event appeared on social media.

But Mustapha, who is known as Turaki of Ilọrin, responded to the allegations on Monday, calling them baseless.

The senator denied the defection allegations as unfounded and reaffirmed his dedication to the APC and his constituency in a statement released by his media assistant, Nasif Solagberu.

“The series of fabricated reports circulating on social media alleging my defection are false,” Mustapha said.

“As a principle, we do not dignify fake news or its peddlers with rebuttals, which is why we have maintained silence in the face of these baseless claims.”

Mustapha emphasised that he is still an ardent APC member and that providing high-quality representation to his constituents is still his top priority.

“I am fully committed to my duties and will not be distracted by cheap and unfounded propaganda,” he declared.
