However, the two term Governor has reacted through his Twitter page, @abdulfatahAhmed noted that he was invited over a contract awarded by the State government when he was commissioner for Finance.

“I was not accused of any wrongdoing. Neither was I questioned about any N9b transaction. I have since been granted bail”, he said.
