All Facts Newspaper had reported that Lawal described the Muslim-Muslim ticket as a disastrous error adding that Tinubu “has been cornered by self-serving, hero-worshiping, lapdogs” who lied to him to adopt Kashim Shettima, a muslim, as his running mate. READ HERE

Responding, Ganduja said Lawal was spreading fake news at a time the country needed unity the most.

The Governor in a statement signed by the state Commissioner for Information, Muhammad Garba, said;

“It is unfortunate that at a time when the country needs to be united for national development and religious tolerance, a man of Babachir’s caliber, who is highly respected, would spread falsehood without much consideration to his position in the All Progressives Congress and close relationship with the party’s flag-bearer, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu”.

He urged Lawal and other internal critics “to be mindful of their utterances, especially on religious matters and support the APC for quality leadership that will deliver the country from its challenges.”
