Erstwhile minister of humanitarian affairs, Hajiya Sadiya Umar Farouq has actually sworn to secure her tradition in public workplace versus mudslinging even as she Tuesday highly dissociated herself from one James Okwete presently under examination over a supposed N37 billion scams.
In a declaration provided by her media assistant, Alexander Udeh on her behalf, she likewise vowed to look for legal action any place her name is libelled.
She stated:
My attention has actually been drawn to publications in some online media outlets attempting to connect my name with the activities of one Mr. James Okwete who is apparently being examined by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over declared monetary improprieties.
Normally I would have neglected such publications, which at finest might be seen and considered speculative however doing so will provide energy to the experience of those who take pleasure in mudslinging, particularly versus those who are, or have actually been fortunate to hold public workplaces.
In this age of digital media when unproven products are quickly disposed and remembered from the cyber area, it would be * unsuitable * to overlook such a destructive linkage.
Sadiya Farouq Denies Knowledge of Okwete
I want to state unconditionally that I neither understand the stated Mr. Okwete nor has ever had him represent me in any method whatsoever. Connecting me with him in whatever guise is fake and ill-intentioned.
I stay happy to have actually served my nation as Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria with every sense of duty and would protect my actions, stewardship and programs throughout my period whenever I am hired to do so.
