The governor’s spokesperson, Lere Olayinka, blamed “desperate political spin doctors” for linking him to the development. “Kindly disregard any press statement being circulated purporting that I made on Prince Buruji Kashamu.

I have not made any press statement on the travail of Buruji Kashamu today both on Twitter and Facebook or any social media platform,” Olayinka stated.

He added that the comment being referred to was generated by unnamed political figures with ulterior motives.“Their motive must be to drag the governor into what does not concern him.
