“My attention has been drawn to a fabricated report on some online media in which I was said to have spoken on behalf of Senate President, Dr Abubakar Bukola Saraki and threatened that Senate would go “to court and stop the entire government from working,” Abdullahi said via a statement.
“There was no time I made the statement attributed to me by these mischievous element. The story is outright falsehood and should therefore be disregarded by all members of the public,” he added.
