The northern group made this known in a statement while reacting to a leaked memo that President Bola Tinubu approved three billion naira from the COVID-19 Palliative Fund for verification of the National Social Register.

Dan-Musa said the allegation is meant to ridicule the former speaker of the House of Representatives.

“It is clear some people are still seeking the downfall of one of the best brains in President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration, but they have failed.”

“Someone who managed 360 elected representatives of the Federal House of Representatives for a solid four years without a blemish will not fall for a peanut. Detractors do not understand the quality and value of Femi Gbajabiamila.

“The Chief of Staff has crossed the bridge before it collapsed, so what they are pursuing is emptiness the second day after the Market day!
