Gov Fintiri alerts public to fake twitter account

Governor Ahmadu Fintiri of Adamawa State has alerted members of the public to a twitter account created by a fraudulent person claiming his personality.

He disowned the cloned Twitter handle @AhamduFintiri disseminating unverified information in his name, describing it as a deceptive ploy to spread misleading information.

“My attention has been drawn to a fake Twitter handle @AhamduFintiri created by unscrupulous persons to misinform unsuspecting members of the public,” Governor Fintiri stated in a press release.

He clarified that his only authentic and verified Twitter handle is @GovernorAUF, and cautioned the public against engaging with any other account claiming to be him.

“This action is irresponsible and a calculated attempt to disseminate inaccurate and tainted information to unsuspecting members of the public,” the Governor emphasized, according to the press release obtained on Tuesday morning.

Signed by Fintiri’s Chief Press Secretary, Humwashi Wonosikou, the release quoted Governor Fintiri as urging the public to remain vigilant against mischief makers who seek to disrupt peace in the state.

“Please discountenance the fake Twitter account and use my official handle for genuine and accurate information on my activities,” Governor Fintiri pleaded.
