Nigerian Presidency on Saturday night said, a national leader of the ruling party, All Progressives Party, APC, is not under security watch as alleged by a section of the media.
Garba Shehu, Senior Special Assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari stated this on his tweeter handle, @GarShehu
He tweeted as follows: “The attention of the Presidency has been drawn to a false and sensational story by a leading newspaper to the effect that a pillar of the governing party, the APC, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is “under security watch over alleged plot against Buhari”.
”Nigerians are hereby advised to ignore this story because it is false and baseless.
”We wish to confirm without any equivocation that Asiwaju is not of any particular interest to any arm of the security services.
”The relationship between him and the President can not be better than it is at the moment.
“According to the perverted logic of the newspaper, the respected leader of the APC is into a plot against the leader of the country.
”The presidency is unaware of any such plots against the President”. He concluded.
