The Business tycoon and elder statesman, Alhaji Aminu Dantata, has debunked reports saying he has endorsed Nasiru Gawuna, gubernatorial candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for Kano state.
This was revealed through a Facebook post by his Principal Private Secretary, Mustapha Junaid, stating that he is not partisan.
The Facebook post disclosed that Dantata has never endorsed any political party or candidate and that he is committed to remaining politically neutral as he has always maintained a non-partisan stance when it comes to elections.
The post reads: “I am informing everyone that Aminu Dantata has not directed anyone to vote for Gawuna, and he has not endorsed anyone else, because he is a father to all. Therefore, those spreading this fake news should desist forthwith and as a matter of immediacy, take down all the posts made about this,”.
Daily Trust, however, reported that many of those flying with the reports had hinged the alleged endorsement on perceived animosity between the elder statesman and Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, the leader of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), the main opposition party in the state.
