Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has disclosed that that the hunt has begun to fish out the harbinger of faux information that he was concerned in an accident that claimed his driver’s life and left him in coma.
El-Rufai who stated he was within the presidential villa to tell President Muhammadu Buhari that he was by no means concerned in an accident nor was he in coma, whereas fielding questions from State Home Correspondents, stated: “I got here to see Mr. President as a result of instantly after my re-election I took a break. I got here again to report back to him that I used to be not concerned in an accident. I’m alive, I’m not in coma and likewise to debate different points associated to my state.”
Requested what he has to say to these behind the hearsay, he stated, “my recommendation to everybody in Nigeria is to keep away from forwarding tales that haven’t been verified. Social media supplies platform for disseminating data however it is usually a platform for dissemination of lies and hatred. We must be very cautious that we don’t use this platform to advance the reason for the enemies of this nation.”
Reacting to claims by the presidential candidate of Folks’s Democratic Celebration (PDP), Atiku Abubakar that he gained Kaduna State, El-Rufai stated, “Effectively, I heard about that. Initially, I assumed it was a joke however after I checked I noticed clearly that he stated he gained Kaduna. It have to be in his desires. Let me say this with none worry of contradiction, since President Buhari began contesting for the presidency since 2003, he has by no means misplaced Kaduna. So, PDP has by no means gained elections in Kaduna from 2003, even with a sitting governor in 2003, 2007, 2011 and 2015. It has by no means occurred. I don’t know what’s going to occur that Atiku will win Kaduna in these elections this time. He misplaced Kaduna; he misplaced very badly, although about 100,000 votes he claimed to have gotten have been added as a result of elections have been carried out with out card reader in some components of the state, that’s how he even acquired as much as the 400,000.
“He has misplaced Kaduna, he’ll all the time lose Kaduna, he’ll lose Kaduna 10 extra instances as a result of he has by no means gained Kaduna in any presidential elections.”
When reminded that the outcomes have been from INEC server, the governor stated, “properly, I don’t find out about INEC server, it have to be Atiku’s server. I don’t find out about INEC server, we don’t understand how that they had entry to it, they are going to inform us through the tribunal proceedings what is that this server and the way they acquired entry to it and the way they acquired their numbers. You don’t go to court docket in an election petition by quoting INEC server or every other server. Anybody can create a server, I can go and purchase it, it’s a piece of apparatus and name it INEC server. However that doesn’t imply that it quantities to something, we’re guided by the electoral act and the proof act and different enabling laws and he has to show his case. However anybody could make claims; we stay within the age of faux information and faux claims. Anybody could make claims however it’s important to show it.”
The electoral physique had introduced Buhari as winner of the election in Kaduna State, having polled 993,482 to defeat PDP’s Atiku, who polled 613,318.
