The house of representative member-elect Engineer Sagir Koki has disowned a Twitter handle spreading rumours that he has decamp the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), describing it as fake account operated by mischief maker.
In a statement sent by Nazifi Bala Dukawa, a closed associate with member-elect said Engineer Sagir Koki neither own Twitter account nor did he post in the platform.
He urged the Leadership of the NNPP, Kano Governor-elect and the general public to disregard any rumours posted.
The statement read in full “My attention has been drawn to a fake Twitter account impersonating me and thereby spreading false information under my name. I wish to state categorically I have no any Twitter account and have not made any tweets on the platform.
“I am therefore alarmed at the recent development where some media outlets have attributed their stories to the said fake Twitter handle. I urge the media to be diligent in their reporting and verify their sources before publishing any story, especially in this era that fake news is rampant.
“I wish to also reiterate the fact that I am currently fully focused on working toward fulfilling my campaign promises and delivering dividends of democracy to my constituents, and I will not be distracted.
