According to him, Hamzat had paid a courtesy visit to formally notify the governor of his intention to contest the governorship in the future, a move he described as consistent with established democratic practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The state government further accused Sahara Reporters of a recurring pattern of publishing unverified and misleading information, noting that while such reports are often ignored, the latest claim warranted an official response to prevent public confusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe advise members of the public to disregard the story and treat it as fake news,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The rebuttal comes at a time of heightened political activity in Lagos, as early manoeuvrings and alignments ahead of the next governorship race begin to take shape.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Lagos State Government has dismissed
