Dangote Group spokesman, Mr. Tony Chiejina said that: “The allegation has no foundation whatsoever and is an ‘outright falsehood. Aliko Dangote does not even know the embattled speaker, Hon. Kabiru Alhassan Rurum, let alone being his friend as alleged by the report”

Besides, the former speaker also denied bribery allegation: “The story was just a fabrication, a tissue of lies and unjustifiable, because there was never a time I met with Dangote to discuss such issue, not to talk of him offering bribe to us.”
