Asked to react to a report that “Alhaji Mamman Daura is the true president, while he’s the unofficial vice-president”, he said: “I don’t know where they get their news from. I stood for the election, I visited every local government in Nigeria, I travelled by road, by air, and so on, and we had one of the most credible election.
"So whoever feels he has lost somehow is his own problem, I have no problem.”
Some politicians had claimed that there is 'a government within government' in Aso Rock.
