- Ahmed made all these known in response to a claim made by Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazak
Abdulfatah Ahmed, former governor of Kwara state, has denied allegation made against his administration by Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazak.
Abdulrazak had alleged that Ahmed's administration sold 110 government properties to friends and cronies while in power.

Going further, he said that approval also covered other properties disposed of by his administration with the proceeds paid into government coffers.
