In a press release, Governor Fintiri stated, “My attention has been drawn to a fake Twitter handle @AhamduFintiri created by unscrupulous persons to misinform unsuspecting members of the public.”
He clarified that his only authentic and verified Twitter handle is @GovernorAUF and urged the public to avoid engaging with any other account claiming to be him.
