Stop sponsoring fake news against me, Saraki’s wife warns AbdulRazaq
Wife of the ex-Senate President of Nigeria, Toyin Saraki has warned Kwara Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq and his spokesperson, Rafiu Ajakaye to stop sponsoring defamatory news against her personality.
Saraki, in a series of tweets on Thursday, advised the governor to, instead of sponsoring propaganda, work towards repairing the sound moral values for which Kwarans are known, saying the spirit and good nature of the people of Kwara should be a guiding light for its leadership.
She tweeted, “Highly disappointed to see this astonishing example of irresponsible fake news & deliberately defamatory disinformation being spread by the openly tagged social media stable of HE Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq @RealAARahman & Rafiu Ajakaye @rafiuajakaye
“Interestingly, on Monday this week, I had discussed the need to curb the nefarious scourge of irresponsible social media operators using the likenesses of public figures in spreading misinformation.
“I would certainly hope that after this, I will not have cause to re-issue my cease and desist warning to Kwara Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq, to ensure that his ‘loving supporters’ stop their repulsive and malicious targeting of my person, in their social media falsehoods.
“Indeed, as Kwara State, and the rest of Nigeria struggles to combat and contain the loss of lives to #COVID19, I would expect all social media aware citizens to devote themselves to positive social and behavioural change communications in the common quest of saving lives.”
