Kaduna State Government on Saturday denies an online report containing disparaging comments on President Muhammad Buhari being attributed to Governor Nasir El-Rufai.
“The intention of the forces behind the fake and mischievous news, for reasons best known to them, is to create tension and confusion in the nation’s polity,” Kaduna state commissioner for internal security and home affairs, Samuel Aruwan, has said.
He said the entire story was “fabricated, and they are trying to pass it off as a popular online newspaper to spread their mischief.”
“The Kaduna State Government urges the general public to disregard that publication and treat it as the vile lie that it is,” Mr Aruwan said.
