The Kaduna State government says its governor, Nasir Ahmed el-Rufa’i, did not describe Buhari as lacking the mental and physical capacity to lead Nigeria.
A statement issued by the State’s
Commissioner for Internal security, Samuel Aruwan, yesterday, said the claim is false.
The remark had been attributed to the governor in a report published by an online platform.
According to Aruwan, those behind the publication seek to create “tension and confusion in the nation’s polity”.
The commissioner urged members of the public to disregard the platform “trying to pass off as a popular online newspaper to spread their mischief”.
“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. The entire content is fabricated, and they are trying to pass 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”, the statement read.
