ARUSHA, Tanzania, Sept. 6 (Xinhua) -- Tanzania on Tuesday refuted social media reports that Vice President Samia Suluhu Hassan plans to resign.
In a statement, the Vice President Office (VPO) said that contrary to social media reports, Hassan will continue to assist Tanzania's President John Magufuli in serving the citizens.
"The reports which went viral on social media are not true; those who fabricated them want to create tension among the citizens," the statement said.
The VP's office urged people to ignore the seditious reports.
Hassan was picked by President Magufuli in July last year as his running mate in presidential race during the ruling CCM national central committee meeting. Enditem
