Architect Barnabas Yusuf Bala, the deputy governor of Kaduna state
has dismissed talks of a fight with his boss, Governor Nasir El-Rufai
blaming the rumour on journalists from Southern Kaduna.
Bala
popularly referred to as Bantex reacted to the news that he exchanged
slaps with El Rufai during his 2016 Ham Day address on Sunday, 27 March.
He
said he was aware of what he described as ridiculous rumour and that it
was a ploy to unsettle the Kaduna state government. “I am aware for
instance of the spread of a ridiculous rumour seeking to paint me as the
victim of a fictitious fight. This sort of lies are being spread by
certain journalists of southern Kaduna origin.
He then quizzed
their motive. “For what reason? It seems they cannot believe the
strength and vitality of the relationship that Malam Nasir El-Rufai and I
have built in the service of Kaduna State.
“Together we shall
deliver the promise of the Restoration Programme, our party’s manifesto,
for the benefit of all our people,” Bantex said.
