Senator Al-Makura, however, said he has under no circumstance imagined working against his party, APC and its candidates, simply because he lost an election.
Debunking the ill news, Senator Al-Makura stated he remains a true member of the APC.
“Senator Al-Makura, is a bonafide member of APC whose commitment to campaign for Gov Abdullahi Sule and other candidates of the ruling party in his zone, remain unshakable, towards ensuring they emerge victorious
