He said: "Mama Taraba should continue to stand on the platform of truth and not allow herself to be intimidated.

I reacted to a story in which she allegedly exposed El-Rufai. It took her 24 hours to deny the story and I wonder why. If the story is not true she should blame the original source, medium and author of the allegation and not me.

I merely reacted to it like millions of other Nigerians did. She should clean up her stinking mess and not blame me for it."
