According to a statement released by Gwandu, ‘the report was triggered out of curiosity and eagerness by followers and loyalists.’
The statement titled; ‘2023: I am yet to declare –Malami’, the clarification became necessary in view of “a false and fabricated publication in some section of the media” read in part;
“A video being circulated as the purported declaration was mischievously translated with fabricated insertions and interpolations that cannot in spirit and context establish the misinformation circulated,” the statement said.
The minister, however, thanked his supporters and the general public for expressing their interest.
At the appropriate time, the people will “hear from the horse’s mouth” in the full glare of the media, stakeholders, like-minds, party faithful, and supporters.
