Governor Nasir el-Rufai of Kaduna State, on Friday presented
himself to President Muhammadu Buhari to show him that he is alive and wasn’t
involved in any accident.
Governor el-Rufai also
said that he was hunting for the peddlers of the news that he was involved in a
fatal accident, adding that if located, the person would face criminal charges.
The Kaduna state
governor who briefed State House correspondents after meeting behind closed
doors with the President said that the claim by the former Vice President and
presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Alhaji Atiku
Abubakar that he won the February 23 election could have been in his (Atiku)
dream.
According to him, “I
came to see Mr. President after my re-election as governor because immediately
after the election I took a break. I came back to report to him that I was not
involved in an accident, I’m alive, I am not in coma and also to discuss other
issues related to my state.”
On his alleged
involvement in an accident, he said, “My advise to everyone in Nigeria is to
avoid forwarding stories that have not been verified.
Social media provides
platform for disseminating information but it is also a platform for
dissemination of lies and hatred. “We should be very careful that we don’t use
this platform to advance the cause of the enemies of this country.
“I was never involved
in any accident, I was not near any accident, in fact at a time I was supposed
to be involved in an accident, I was in an aircraft going to another country.
