Kwara State Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed has described as false, malicious and unfounded, a report published by Saharareporters.com last Friday.

The report claimed that Senate President Bukola Saraki blamed the governor for miscreants' attack on dignitaries at the Ilorin Eid prayer ground last Thursday.

In a statement in Ilorin, Dr. Muyideen Femi Akorede, the senior special assistant on Media and Communications to Governor Ahmed said at no time did the Senate president accuse the governor of leaving him vulnerable to attack by the miscreants, neither did Governor Ahmed blame Dr. Saraki for the miscreants' attack on dignitaries.

Describing the report's claim that Senator Saraki got N1billion of the N4.3billion bailout loan received by the state government from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) as preposterous, malicious and provocative, Akorede said the Senate President neither received any kobo out of the money which was used to pay the two months' salary arrears of civil servants last month, nor any other money from the government.

He said the former governor was preoccupied with the task of lawmaking and providing leadership at the National Assembly and had no time to either interfere with or control the state's finances, which were under the jurisdiction of the government and its authorised officials.
