A report by Sahara Reporters had stated that the governor spent ₦170,276,294.31 on international travel and transport, ₦221,567,094 on local travel, and ₦6,929,500.00 on private security within the three months.
However, the state government has described the report as a fabrication, saying it is an attempt to distract the governor.
In a statement signed by the governor’s spokesperson, Sulaiman Bala Idris, on Thursday, November 23, 2023, the state government said the “misinformation” in the report was a “deliberate misinterpretation of budget data.”
