Gwandu described such reports as ” false and fabricated publications.”
According to Gwandu, Malami’s style was not to hide his ” political position “
Malami appreciated his supporters who want him to aspire for the governorship seat of his state.
The statement partly reads:
“The report was triggered out of curiosity and eagerness by followers and loyalists.
“A video being circulated as the purported declaration was mischievously translated with fabricated insertions and interpolations that cannot in spirit and context establish the mal-information circulated.

“Gwandu said at the appropriate time they will hear from the horses mouth in full glare of the media, stakeholders, like-minds, party faithful and teaming supporters.”
