“We would like to categorically state that this report is entirely baseless and fictitious.
“The Minister of Interior, Hon. Dr. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, completely disassociates and distances himself from the purported appointment, as it holds no truth whatsoever.
“There has been no meeting held with all the local government APC chairmen and leaders in Abuja, as alleged in the article.”
