<\/p>\nAdamu told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Dutse yesterday that he has never discussed or told anybody or group that he would dump his party to join PDP.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am, therefore, warning those spreading that fake news aimed at scuttling my political ambition to desist because they will never succeed.<\/p>\n
