Saheed Popoola as false and totally out of line.  In a statement by the Honourable Commissioner for Communication, Bode Towoju, the government said the interest of the people is paramount to Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq and urged the people beware of rumour mongers who have started springing up poorly-calculated mischief in a bid to mislead the populace for selfish political gains.  Reacting to a claim by Hon.
