The Deputy Governor , in a statement signed by Mr. Omolere Omoetan, his Senior Special Assistant on Media, said that he had no rift with the governor. He added that even if there was, as a true Muslim, he would seek for peaceful resolution and not take to measures that was contrary to common sense as reported by Sahara Reporters.
