A former Governor of Sokoto State and one time presidential candidate, Alhaji Attahiru Bafarawa, has denied joining the Social Democratic Party.
The former Sokoto State governor made the clarification through his Media Aide, Dr. Abubakar Umar, on Tuesday in Sokoto.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that Bafarawa had sometime ago excused himself from active politics.
He described the latest information in circulation as false and misleading.
According to him, he had not granted any media interview or consultation with any group on the issue.
He enjoined journalists to refrain from circulating false reports, stressing that he along with his people have embarked on digging the roots and circumstances that led to the circulation of the story.
