I don't sleep at public functions, I only pretend - Kano State Governor says

Kano State Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje has responded to his political opponents who have been accusing him of sleeping at public functions. He said, he won't bow to blackmailers who said he was not working but sleeping.

Speaking during an interactive session with labour unions as part of May Day celebration at the Government House, Kano, on Monday, he said that his critics could not differentiate between sleeping and pretending.

"My opponents always complain that I sleep at public functions but I want them to try and differentiate between the two. Political blackmail is not an issue to me because I am used to it and will continue to work for the good people of the state," he said.
