And Hon. Ibrahim Dahiru Danfulani, SA Media and Publicity to the Honourable Speaker, in a statement on Sunday, noted that the reports is the handiwork of opposition and enemies of progress of the relationship between the legislative arm of government and the executive under the able leadership of Malam Nasir el-Rufai.
He said the false report was aired apparently to create crises between the legislative and the executive and in order to deny the good people of Kaduna State the dividends of democracy they are benefitting.
“The report which also said the relationship between the governor and the Speaker of the Kaduna State House of Assembly, Rt. Honourable Yusuf Zailani, has been frosty for quite some time now is also nothing but the figment of imagination of the writer and perhaps their sponsors,” it said.
The statement described as untrue the claim that the state lawmakers are currently investigating the expenditures of all the Ministries, Agencies and Parastatals of the state government.
The statement further added that the entire report is maliciously concocted to misinform the general public and should be disregarded in its entirety.
