He stressed that he has made no comment on any political party for years.

The statement reads in part: “Here we go again! Treat as yet another case of Identity Theft.

Once again, I urge Nigerians to have the courage of their convictions and stop acting like the contemptible cowards and opportunistic hustlers that infest the social media.”
