The Senator representing Niger East Senatorial District, Muhammad Sani Musa, has dismissed speculations of a rift between him and the Governor of Niger State, Mohammed Umaru Bago, insisting that their relationship remains strong and cordial.
Speaking during an engagement with party leaders and stakeholders at the Niger East zonal office of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Sunday, Senator Musa described reports of a feud as baseless and unfounded.
The senator, who is seeking re-election for a third term, is expected to contest in the APC primary election scheduled in the coming weeks, where he may face a first-time contender, Bello Bawa Bwari.
Addressing party members, Senator Musa expressed satisfaction with his relationship with Governor Bago, praising the governor’s performance and reiterating his unwavering support.
“I do not see any problem whatsoever. Those who speculate are entitled to their opinions, but I remain focused. I have God on my side, I have my President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, I have my governor, farmer Mohammed Umaru Bago and most importantly, I have the people. What God has joined together, no man can put asunder,” he said.
He explained that his visit to the zonal office was part of ongoing consultations and engagements with party stakeholders, noting that he had received positive feedback regarding his performance.
Senator Musa also reiterated his commitment to advancing education in the state, urging young people to take advantage of his educational initiatives to build a more secure future.
While commending party officials for their coordination and dedication, he reaffirmed his loyalty to the APC, stating that the platform has enabled him to positively impact lives and contribute to national development.
“We have witnessed a high level of organization and commitment here. The zonal office is living up to its mandate, and we are proud of the progress being made,” he added.
The lawmaker further called on Nigerians to remain hopeful and continue to pray for their leaders, expressing confidence that the APC-led government would achieve its objectives in revitalizing the economy, improving infrastructure, reducing poverty, enhancing education, and ensuring security across the country.
