By Adeola Abdullah
The senator representing Kaduna Central Senatorial District, Senator Uba Sani; has described as fake the news making the rounds on social media that President Buhari had assented to a bill sponsored by Sani, approving the name change of Kaduna State to Zazzau State.
In a post on his verified Twitter handle on Monday, Sani said “My attention has been drawn to a concocted, subversive, malicious & false information circulating in the social media claiming that President Buhari has signed a bill for the creation of Zazzau State, which I allegedly co-sponsored in the Senate with Senator Sulaiman Abdu Kwari.”
In a another press release, Sani stated that the fake news is a concoction by his political opponents with the aim of destabilizing the state and worsening its insecurity problems.
