Ghising’s re-appointment was informed from the recently closed Twitter handle @kulman_ghising7. However, Ghising has made it clear that false news was spread by setting up his fake account.
Ghising said, "My fake account has been opened and different information has been spread, I would like to inform you that I have no other official account other than this one."
