Kano State House of Representative member Alhassan Ado Doguwa has refuted reports that he had threatened to expose Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje over alleged deductions from salaries of local government workers in the state.
Doguwa, the Majority Leader of the House of Representatives, said the reports were maliciously intended to tarnish his reputation.
In reaction to the report by an online platform, Doguwa, in a statement, described the report as blatant falsehood, mischief, and fake news concocted by his detractors to tarnish his image and cause confusion between him and Governor Ganduje.
The lawmaker who is “demanding retraction and apology from the publisher, within 48 hours,” failure of which will lead to litigation, stated: “Our governor remains my father, my leader and my mentor for life, no matter the fake news and antics of mischief makers hell-bent on causing confusion between us.”
