The Majority Leader of the House of Representatives, Alhassan Ado Doguwa, has distanced himself from a report by an online platform saying he threatened to expose Kano State Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje over alleged deductions from the salaries of LG workers in the state.
Doguwa, in a statement he personally signed said Ganduje remains his leader and mentor, adding that the said report published by an online platform, Mikiya www.hausanewsnigeriya has no iota of truth.
Doguwa described the report as “blatant falsehood, mischief, and fake news concocted” by his detractors and “agents of darkness” to tarnish his image and cause confusion between him and his “leader and mentor,” Governor Ganduje.
Doguwa said he is part and parcel of the Ganduje-led administration, which he said “every right-thinking person in the state should be proud of given the transformation it has brought to the state, cutting across all spheres of human development.”
The lawmaker is therefore demanding “a retraction and an apology from the publisher within 48 hours, failure of which will lead to litigation.”
