He said that Gana’s constant visits to his constituency despite his tight schedules should not be taken for granted.
“I challenged any one who can come out and show us the projects executed by the previous house of representatives in Mokwa local government areas that surpasses what Hon Joshua Gana has put in place coming to two years in the 10th National assembly..
“It has come to our notice that those circulating this rumour were not physically at the venue but decided to go all out to circulate unpleasant rumour against the honourable Member of the National assembly,” he said.
