In an announcement personally signed on Sunday, Mustapha denied claims associating him with the opposition alliance and its alleged selection of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as its political platform.
“I would like most people to know that that is faux information. I’m not in any opposition alliance, and I’m not in any dialogue with those that are concerned,” he mentioned.
Mustapha, who served as SGF underneath the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari, was just lately rumoured to be a potential substitute for Vice President Kashim Shettima forward of the 2027 elections.

He recalled his function as a founding member of the APC in 2013, noting that he was the Deputy Nationwide Chairman of the defunct Motion Congress of Nigeria (ACN) earlier than the merger that produced the APC.
“Because the Deputy Nationwide Chairman of the Motion Congress of Nigeria, the biggest political celebration with six governors on the time of the merger and the formation of the APC, I can rightly declare that I’m one of many founding fathers of the governing celebration,” he said.
“I can’t, due to this fact, in all reasonableness, stroll away from a celebration I helped to type. I’m within the APC. If our celebration has issues, as all the opposite events do, we are going to keep within the celebration and repair these issues.”
Mustapha, who hails from Hong Native Authorities Space of Adamawa State, harassed: “We don’t resolve issues by decamping to different events.”
