Vice President Namadi Sambo has disassociated himself from any plot now or in the further to impose an emergency rule in Kaduna state over the spate of violence there.<\/p>\n
Sambo said reports in some section of the media linking him to such are the handiwork of mischievous people, describing it as “cheap lies”
\nintended to cause disaffection between him and his political associates.<\/p>\n
According to a statement signed by his spokesman, Mallam Umar Sanni, “Our attention has been drawn to media reports alleging that the Vice President Arc Mohammed Namadi Sambo in a purported pursuit of a presidential ambition and in order to get at Governor Patrick Ibrahim Yakowa of Kaduna State ostensibly for his supposed closeness with former Governor Ahmed Mohamed Makarfi was pushing for an imposition of a State-of-Emergency rule in Kaduana State.”<\/p>\n
“We find the story not only malicious in contents but an orchestrated attempt to disparage the good relationship that exists between the trio.\u00a0 It should be noted that they not only enjoy good and cordial fraternal relationship but excellent working one as well.\u00a0 They pay each other periodic visits and take time to travel to events together.\u00a0 Only recently, the Vice President commiserated with the Governor over the fire incident that engulfed his official residence in Kaduna.\u00a0 Also, on the invitation of the Vice President, the Governor and Makarfi were with him in Benin-City during the gubernatorial campaign of Charles Edigie Airhiavbere at the Ogbemudia Stadium. They flew together in the Vice President aircraft.”<\/p>\n
“At no time was there any meeting involving Kaduna State in which the Vice President discussed the supposed Emergency Rule.”<\/p>\n
“These stories are mere cheap lies fabricated to cause disaffection between and among the trio and we urge members of the public to discountenance such falsehood.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
