Breaking News Senator Ida Dissociates Self From Jonathan’s Campaign A stalwart of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party in Katsina State, Senator Ibrahim Muhammad Ida has dissociated himself from the re-election bid of president Jonathan. It would be recalled that Senator Ida, who represented Katsina central in the last senate, was named among the president’s campaign team. But speaking to newmen, Senator Ida said he was not in any way part of the president Jonathan’s campaign team as published in some national dailies. Senator Ida, who spoke through his senior special assistant, Alhaji Auwalu Buba, said he had been in Saudi Arabia since the past seven days before the publication linking him with Jonathan’s campaign. He denied any association with the campaign team, stating that no contact emanated between him and the presidency regarding the campaign. The senator described the action as another way of jeopardising his political future by some retrogressive elements, even as he said it was as defamatory. He, however, urged his supporters to disregard the publication linking him with Jonathan’s campaign team.
