Details Of Tinubu’s Meeting With Oba Of Benin Emerge
In a statement on Saturday, the deputy governor through his Press Secretary, Ibrahim Shauib clarified himself on the matter.
According to the statement, the reports falsely claimed that the deputy governor criticised the Tinubu administration for allocating N500 billion to support Small and Medium Scale Enterprises through the Bank of Industry.
The statement read in part: “Abdulsalam-Gwarzo had referred to a news segment he watched on Thursday morning featuring Senator Ali Ndume, who expressed concern about the allocation formula.
“The deputy governor made this reference while receiving a delegation from the Kano Cooperative Society at the Government House, Kano, as they commemorated the 2023 International Day of Cooperatives.
“Nowhere in the deputy governor’s statement did he mention the name of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
“The allocation formula had been designed even before President Tinubu assumed office.
“Therefore, the reports misinterpreted Abdulsalam-Gwarzo’s comments, failing to grasp the essence of his statement.”
