George, who is additionally the Atona Oodua of Yorubaland, depicted the case as "fiendish and intentionally fake."
The PDP pioneer, in an announcement said: "My consideration has been attracted to another devilish and intentionally fake claim that I gathered N100 million from Bashir Yuguda, the previous Minister of State for Finance.
This is another explicit misrepresentation, stripped of any particle of truth. This is once more a corrupted continuation of lynch crowd news-casting organized by an online daily paper."
With an end goal to set the records straight, he said: "The remarkable reality is that early this year, much sooner than the decision period, the gathering set up Contact and Mobilization Commttee for every zone to accommodate different groups and guarantee a firm solidarity of reason inside of the zones before the race. I was chosen as the Chairman for the South-West zone.
"The board of trustees which was comprised of 18 senior individuals from the gathering with recognized history of honor and praiseworthy administration, met no less than 10 times in my office in Lagos.
These individuals voyaged the distance from each side of the South-West, with three individuals speaking to every state.
Every one of them are all that much alive to vouch for my declarations. At some point amidst these considerations, Yuguda came to me and said the gathering was repaying the 18 older folks of the council for their transportation, convenience and encouraging recompense for the work that was finished.
"The board of trustees later presented the report of its consultations to the gathering and after that injury up. For every one of these endeavors Yuguda gave the advisory group just $30,000.
That was not exactly N6 million around then. Yuguda can never guarantee that he gave the Committee N100 million.
That is the fabrication of the creative energy of dishonest scribblers implying to be writers. Once more, truths are holy."
