The Majority Leader of the House of Representatives, Alhassan Ado Doguwa, has refuted a publication in an online media, claiming that he threatened to expose Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano State over alleged deductions from salaries of Local government workers in the state.

This is just as he threatened to take legal action against the publication if an apology is not tendered to him and the affected personalities.

It will be recalled that a report published in an online medium alleged that Doguwa who represents Doguwa-Tudun Wada Federal Constituency of Kano State threatened to expose the governor over deductions from the salaries of Kano LG workers.

But in a statement signed by Doguwa, a copy of which was made available on Thursday in Kano, the majority leader described the publication as a calculated attempt to get at his reputation, character and hard-earned integrity.

He further described the report as falsehood, mischief, and fake news fabricated by his detractors and agents of darkness to tarnish his image and cause confusion between him, his leader, and mentor.

According to him, “my lawyers will pursue the matter,” saying that he has never held any adverse feelings against the governor.

Doguwa said he is part and parcel of the Ganduje-led administration of which every right-thinking person in the state should be proud of based on the numerous transformational projects he has brought to the state. (Nigerian Tribune)
