Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of DAN MAMA SMART HOMES LTD, Dr. Goje Saleem Iliyasu, has denied taking part in the recently concluded All Progressives Congress (APC) primary elections for the Jalingo/Yorro/Zing Federal Constituency.

In a statement issued to the people of the constituency, Iliyasu clarified that he has never been registered under the APC and therefore could not have participated in the party’s primary process.

He described reports linking him to the APC primaries as inaccurate and misleading, calling on the public to disregard the claims.

Iliyasu revealed that after extensive consultations with political stakeholders, community leaders, youths, supporters, and associates across Jalingo/Yorro/Zing Federal Constituency, he has officially aligned with another political party, whose identity will be made public at the appropriate time.

According to him, the move was made in the overall interest of the constituency and reflects a commitment to promoting unity, development, empowerment, credible leadership, and effective representation for the people.

He also expressed appreciation to his supporters and residents of the constituency for their continued trust and encouragement, assuring them that the movement remains focused on achieving meaningful progress for JYZ.
