The Nasarawa State Publicity Secretary of the ruling All Progressives Congress, Chief Douglas Otaru has described the purported information going viral on social media of the defection of former National Chairman of the party, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, as fake news.

Otaru gave the hint during a telephone conversation with this medium on the 9th January, 2026.

He opined that the information was fabricated by non-card-carrying members, especially the opposition, adding that Senator Adamu just registered (001) at his Rimi electoral wards of Keffi Local Government Council.

He, however, urged party members to remain resolute and calm with the ongoing e-registration exercise.

The party described the reports as baseless propaganda deliberately aimed at misleading the public and causing confusion within the APC.

According to him, Senator Adamu, a former Governor of Nasarawa State, remains a committed and card-carrying member of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, he added.
