According to Kantigi, he is not aware of the said account traced to a company account titled Liman and companies in UBA stating that he is neither a Director nor a Stakeholder in the company.
“For God sake, the media ought to have confirmed from the banks if truly my names are there as their customer? I am not a Director of such companies nor shareholder. ”
In a statement made available to The Nation in Minna, Kantigi also denied allegations that he has been evading the EFCC regarding the linked account adding that some group of people have decided to use the media to smear his character as a businessman and politician.
“I acknowledge the fact that the EFCC has the constitutional right to investigate anybody they suspect, it is, however not true that I have been evading the commission. My lawyers are in touch with the EFCC and the commission is aware of this, so it is not true that I am evading the commission.
“I want to categorically state that the claim that another N2 billion in a UBA account reportedly linked to me is untrue and figment of some people's imagination who want to use the media to drag my name to the mud.
“I was Chairman of my Local Government with outstanding performances and an Honourable Commissioner for seven months. How could I have siphoned such amount and pushed to companies as an individual from the government agency as claimed by the medias?, ” he asked.
Kantigi urged the media to confirm from the banks and fault him if he was lying adding that the media reports was being orchestrated by people who would want to spoil his name and associate his name with anything bad by all means.
Kantigi appealed to his supporters to disregard all the news trending about him in the media stressing that they are false and unfounded and urge the media to cross their facts very well before rushing to the public.
