Borno governorship race: CPC denies alliance with any political party

The Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) in Boron State has denied entering into alliance with any political parties for the coming gubernatorial and the House of Assembly elections in the state.

Addressing a press conference yesterday in Maiduguri, the party’s governorship flag bearer, Hon Mustapha Baba Shehuri, said some mischief-makers are spreading the rumour that the party has entered into alliance for the next elections.

“Let me say very loudly and clearly without fear of contradiction that our party, the CPC, at the state level never attempted or even wished to enter into any kind of alliance with any political party for the purpose of any election.

“You know very well that the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) started independently on a sound and patriotic note and grew from strength to strength to get to this enviable position of giving nightmare to those discredited and failed politicians in the state, who have now resorted to fabrications of all sorts in their desperation to cause confusion among the electorate,” he said.

Hon. Shehuri called on the party supporters to see the campaign as a figment of the imagination of the markers, saying they should remain committed to the cause of progressive change as required by the party.

Meanwhile the chairman of the party in the state, Comrade Zanna Shetimma has faulted the result of the presidential candidates coming from states as announced by Independent National Electoral Commission.

He alleged that most of the figures coming from states were falsified to favour the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
