The minister’s Special Assistant on Media, Ms Sarah Sanda, who said this in a statement on Friday in Abuja, explained that “the minister only operates a verified twitter account @GeoffreyOnyeama.”
Sanda said that the attention of the minister had been drawn to a series of Facebook and Instagram accounts opened in his name by some criminal minded members of society.
