Governor Umaru Al-Makura of Nasarawa State has assured President Muhammadu Buhari that his state would support him in the 2019 general elections.
The governor made this known on Thursday when speaking at an expanded stakeholders’ meeting of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Senate President Bukola Saraki had officially renounced his membership of the ruling APC to join the opposition PDP.
Sokoto State Governor, Aminu Tambuwal, also dumped the ruling party for the major opposition.
Reacting, Al-Makura said: “The gale of defections rocking the APC will not reach Nasarawa; I am very confident of that.”
He also commended APC members of the National Assembly from the state for remaining resolute in support of the party, and urged them to remain loyal party members.
