Kaduna State deputy Governor Arc. Bala. Barnabas Bantex, said he did not fight with his boss, Malam Nasir Ahmad Elrufai as currently being speculated.

Bantex who said his relationship with Elrufai is cordial, called on the people of Kaduna state to debunked rumours by some Journalists who he said wants to paint him black.

The deputy governor who spoke for the first time since the alleged fisticuff with the governor ensued, described the rumour as ridiculous.

Bantex stated this on Saturday 26 March, 2016 in an event to mark the yearly Ham Day in Jaba Local Government area of Kaduna State. The Deputy Governor said he was not unaware of the speculations that he fought with Elrufai adding that the event was an opportunity for him to dispel the rumour.

“I am aware of the spread ridiculous rumour seeking to paint me as the victim of a fictious fight. This sort of lies are being spread by certain Journalists of Southern Kaduna origin for what reason,”? It seems they cannot believe the strength and vitality of the relationship that Mallam Nasir El-rufai and I have built in the service of Kaduna State and together we shall deliver the promise restoration programme and our party’s manifesto for the benefit of all people,” Bantex said.

Speaking on the religious censorship bill before the Kaduna State House of Assembly, Bantex said: “We cannot ignore the fact that the threat of religious violence has not disappeared and we have a duty to confine such things to the past.”

“The bill does not in anyway prevent anybody from practicing their faith. It is firmly intended to disallow any attempt to use Religion to diminish, disturb or destroy others or threaten their lives,” Bantex said.

he concur!

Well I think we should properly investigate issues before they are reported.

Yes sir, we know you did not fight with him. You just slapped him twice and fell down.

PDP propaganda

I said it that he would be forced to come and deny it to save some face for the midget.

El rufai don beg em deputy make em deny say em no slap am...rochas na d next gov wey go chop slap..APC a party of civilized touts..

I said it that no such thing happened. It was just rumour flying around and being spread by mischievous elements who do not wish our dear state well.

This rumour is the handiwork of PDP/wailers.

LIKES are for sale on Nairaland, wailers are hoarding them big time.

He'll Rufai slapped you period. They didn't spread any fucking rumor there you're just covering up after the leaked news

Shame on all wailing liars!
