Senator Sunday Marshall Katung, representing Kaduna South Senatorial District, has publicly dismissed widespread rumors suggesting his defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC). In a statement issued by his Media Office and signed by his Special Adviser on Media and Communications, Midat Joseph, the lawmaker reaffirmed his unwavering loyalty to the PDP, stressing that he remains a committed member of the party on whose platform he was elected.
The statement described the circulating speculation as “a needless distraction,” emphasizing that Senator Katung’s focus remains firmly on delivering effective representation, pursuing legislative excellence, and facilitating developmental projects for the people of Kaduna South. It further clarified that any decision of such magnitude would be communicated officially and transparently by the Senator himself, not through clandestine speculation.
Highlighting his ongoing commitment to public service, the Senator’s office assured constituents that he remains dedicated to advancing the welfare of the people he represents. “Our attention should be on meaningful development, legislative engagement, and community progress, not on unfounded rumours that serve no public interest,” the statement read. The Media Office therefore urged citizens, the media, and political stakeholders to disregard the misinformation and focus on supporting initiatives that directly benefit Kaduna South.
The clarification comes amid heightened political speculation in the region, where the allegiance of elected officials is often subjected to public scrutiny. By addressing the rumours directly, Senator Katung’s office sought to prevent misinformation from undermining confidence in his leadership or distracting from the critical work of governance. Political analysts note that such statements are crucial in maintaining stability and trust, particularly in regions with active political discourse and competing party interests.
Senator Katung has a notable record of achievements since his election, including legislative interventions, advocacy for infrastructural projects, and programs aimed at youth empowerment, education, and healthcare. His reaffirmation of loyalty to the PDP underscores a continuity of purpose, ensuring that constituents remain assured of consistent representation and advocacy at both state and federal levels.
Through this statement, Senator Katung projects a clear message of focus, transparency, and dedication to service, reiterating that his priorities are anchored in the welfare, development, and progress of Kaduna South. The reaffirmation also serves as a reminder that elected officials must balance public perception with effective governance, keeping the interests of citizens at the forefront of their agenda.
