Former Jigawa State Gov. Sule Lamido has rejected VP Kashim's claim that he and other former state leaders now support APC.
Shettima made the claim at the party's rally in Dutse on Tuesday.
Lamido called the claim false.
He said he was not with the APC in 2014, so there is no reason he would join it now.
He said the party should point to its achievements in Jigawa and the North instead of borrowing prominent figures to win support.
Sule also added that he would consider joining the APC before 2027 if the Tinubu government ends kidnapping, banditry and Boko Haram attacks in the North.
He also commented on Shettima's Kanuri background before calling the claim "kattuwunum," a Kanuri word for lie.
