Kano State Government has condemned what it described as an attempt by social media platforms and online publications in the country to cause disaffection between Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, the President-elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Ibrahim Kabiru Masari.
This is contained in a statement issued on Saturday by the State Commissioner for Information and Internal Affairs,Malam Muhammad Garba.
Garba described as mischievous the lifting of a story by the social media and online publications,from a purported phone conversation between Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje and Ibrahim Kabiru Masari which involved his political relationship with President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
He stated that the exaggerated publicity on the purported audio clip was the “handiwork of paid agents trying to unturn the so-called ‘conversation’ with a view to causing disaffection between the two political gladiators.”
“From all indications some people who are not comfortable with the long cordiality Tinubu, Ganduje and Masari enjoy are bent on exploiting the situation to their advantage,”he said.
The commissioner maintained that the Governor and the President-elect had since realised this mischievous attempt to cause disaffection between them, “and would not allow this sound working relationship which has been waxing stronger, particularly at this critical time, to be destroyed by some self-centered individuals.”
He urged members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the general public to disregard such attempt and remain calm and loyal to the party to ensure the successful inauguration of the President-elect.
