The Kano State Government on Saturday decried as “mischievous” attempts made by social media and online publications across the nation to steal a story from a supposed phone call between Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje and Ibrahim Kabiru Masari.
The topic of discussion was Ganduje’s political ties to Bola Tinubu, the president-elect.
According to Mallam Muhammad Garba, the state’s commissioner for information and internal affairs, “the exaggerated publicity on the purported audio clip was the handiwork of paid agents trying to unturn the so-called ‘conversation’ with a view to causing disaffection between the two political gladiators.”

He said that it appears that some individuals who are not happy with the long-standing friendship between Tinubu, Ganduje, and Masari “are bent on exploiting the situation to their advantage.”
The governor and the President-elect, according to Garba, have since realized that “this mischievous attempt to cause disaffection between them” has failed, and they “would not allow this sound working relationship, which has been waxing stronger, particularly at this critical time, to be destroyed by some self-centered individuals.”
In order to ensure the success of the President-elect’s inauguration, the Commissioner urged members of the All Progressives Congress and the general public to disregard such attempts, maintain composure, and show their party loyalty.
