Senator Ewuga, made this known in a statement issued by one of his aides, Hassan Lega and made available to newsmen in Lafia, on Thursday.
“The attention of Senator Solomon Ewuga has been drawn to a purported publication on social media, attributed to him by Mr. Bamaiyi Daniel Akpu, saying that “Solomon Ewuga may exit active politics to pursue the Aren Akun Traditional Stool”
“I want to state clearly that I have never indicated any interest in the Aren Akun stool and will never do so,” Senator Ewuga said in the statement.
The elder statesman who prayed for the soul of the late Aren Akun, to continue to rest in peace, urged the general public to disregard the purported publication, saying it is from his adversaries who do not mean well for him and his political ambitions.

“He is resolved to continue serving the people of Nasarawa State in his established capacity as a politician of repute” the statement concluded.
