He explained that opinion articles shared on his platforms should not be mistaken as his personal views, adding that careless attribution fuels fake news and damages public trust.
The former governor criticised some media figures for failing to verify the viral post, saying such actions encourage false narratives and reckless political talk.
He maintained that he never made such remarks in any speech, interview or post, while noting that the ADC, his current party, is not focused on zoning and has possible contenders from both the North and South.
