The Kaduna State government has sounded the alarm over fallacious statements on President Muhammadu Buhari being bandied around and attributed to Governor Nasir El-Rufai.
It described the statements as a vile fib and the strategy as impish.
In a statement issued by the Commissioner, Internal Security, and Home Affairs, Samuel Aruwan, on Saturday, he said the entire content of the statements was falsified while explaining that the intention of the forces behind the fake and mischievous news was to create tension and confusion in the nation’s polity.
The statement, therefore, urged the public to disregard the publication and treat it “as the vile fib that it is.”
The statement reads: “A mischievous online report is circulating fake comments on President Muhammad Buhari which they falsely attribute 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 government.
“The entire content is fabricated, and they are trying to pass off as a popular online newspaper to spread their mischief.
Aruwan said the Kaduna State Government persuades the general public to ignore that publication and treat it as the vile fib that it is.
