THE attention of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Mr Boss Mustapha, has been drawn to a fake Twitter handle with a fake username bearing his name.

A statement issued on Tuesday by Willie Bassey Director Information, office of the SGF, said the fake username dragged Mustapha’s name into making unsavoury comments on the governorship candidates of APC in Adamawa and Zamfara states.

“For the avoidance of doubt, SGF wishes to state categorically that he does not own or operate any Twitter handle by such a username.

“And, therefore, calls on Nigerians to disregard any negative comments made with such a username on Twitter against the persons of the Gov. of Zamfara and the governorship candidate of APC in Adamawa State.

“He finds it mischievous for any person to attach his name to a fake user account.

“He, therefore, cautions Twitter users and those who respond to certain posts to always endeavour to verify Twitter handles before responding to posts of any sort,’’ the statement said.  (NAN)
