Times in which they alleged that federal ministry of finance made
illegal payments of funds to him and Senate President Bukola
Saraki.

@YakubDogara on Saturday, the Speaker described the story as
“journalistic demagoguery” which is fast gaining ascendancy in the
country and must be curtailed.
He said if editors of Premium Times do not immediately retract
the story and apologise, he will institute legal action against
them as a law abiding citizen.
“This brand of journalistic demagoguery that is currently in the
ascendancy in our dear country must be curtailed,” he said.
” The writers are as dumb as the fable they are peddling. If no
immediate retraction of this supremely idiotic report is made, we
will certainly meet in court.”
The senate President Bukola Saraki , finance Mrs. Kemi Adeosun
and Accountant General of the Federation Mr. Ahmed Idris have all
repudiated the story with senator Saraki demanding for retraction
or he seek redress in court .
