Former Minister of Information, and the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, (APGA), Labaran Maku has denied allegation by one of Nigeria’s publications stating that he had been a

member of the party since 2013.

While describing the publication as the result of desperation and misinformation, Maku said he was only allowed a waiver to backdate hismembership of the party, after he was welcomed by APGA, who initially

approached him with a governorship ticket.

A statement from Nasarawa state APGA secretariat said: “The attention of the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) in Nasarawa State has been drawn to yet another mischief planted in one of the nation’s

Newspaper on the 8th of March, 2015 claiming that our governorship candidate, Mr. Labaran Maku, has been a card carrying member of APGA since 2013”.

“While we do not want to join issues with the PDP and APC in Nasarawa State, who have now formed an unholy alliance in the smear campaign against Mr. Maku, it behooves on APGA to clarify the issue and put the records straight”.
