Former Kaduna State governor Nasir El-Rufai has rejected allegations alleging that he declared which region of the country should produce Nigeria’s president in 2027.

El-Rufai, in a statement released on his verified X Twitter on Monday, condemned the claims as fraudulent and deceptive, underlining that he never uttered such words in any speech, interview, or social media post.

Despite the claim’s widespread internet dissemination, he maintained it was completely false and shouldn’t be ascribed to him, pointing out that he only speaks on his reputable media interviews and verified social media platforms.

Additionally, the former governor warned against attributing opinions published by other authors to him just because he posted them on social media, calling such actions unethical and wrong.

“My attention has been drawn to a trending fake news item alleging that I specified which region of the country should produce the president in 2027.

“This is an untrue claim, despite its virality. I did not say so in any of my speeches, interviews, or social media posts. I have my own verifiable platforms on social media where I speak my mind and own my opinions,” part of his statement read.
