The Chief of Staff to Governor Mu’azu Babangida Aliyu of Niger State, Professor Muhammed Kuta Yahaya has dismissed as ludicrous and totally untrue the report that he is interested in succeeding his boss in 2015.
A national daily yesterday reported that “Professor Yahaya is being prepared for the governorship seat in 2015, a development which may pitch the governor against some powerful retired generals in the state who have a different game plan for the 2015 race”
But in a statement made available to newsmen yesterday, Professor Yahaya said the current speculation is a façade, meant to divert public attention, emphasizing that for now, he is concentrating on helping his principal to deliver on the promises he made to the electorate.
Prof Yahaya referred to the report as a figment of the imagination of its authors or at best the opinion of some individuals planted in the media to cause disaffection within the state.
Yahaya said he remains committed to his present assignment and would not be distracted by any unsubstantiated report in the media.
He reiterated his commitment to the ongoing efforts at re-engineering the state to achieve its vision of becoming one of the top three most developed state economies by the year 2020.
