Minna - Governor Mu’azu Babangida Aliyu of Niger State on Tuesday denied endorsing the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC),  Muhammad Buhari in the February presidential election, reports NewsDay.

He accused Buhari of truncating his political ambition in 1983 when he overthrew the democratically elected government of President Shehu Shagari.

Apparently referring to some reports which listed Aliyu as one of the governors who was sympathetic to the candidature of Buhari, Aliyu noted that he believed in loyalty and would not leave his political party and support someone from another political party.
