The Presidency Monday, refuted news making the rounds that President Muhammadu Buhari has called for the removal of Festus Keyamo as a spokesperson of the APC Presidential Campaign Council, saying, “is fake news.”
But presidential spokesman, Garba Shehu, who rebutted the story on Monday when our Correspondent called for clarification, said, both President Buhari and the Presidential Candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu are satisfied with the job Keyamo has been doing, and with the general set up of the impending campaign, which has already become an example for other parties.
“We aware that conspiracy theories are being hatched with a ripple effect to defame our party leaders and hold back the campaign. Supporters of our candidates should not pay attention to “news” from these fountains of false narratives,” the Presidency stated.
Recall that a popular online news reported that ‘President Muhammadu Buhari and members of the Aso Rock cabal have called for the removal of Festus Keyamo as the spokesperson for the All Progressives Congress (APC)/Bola Ahmed Tinubu Presidential Campaign Council.’
The online news also quoted a presidential source that ‘Buhari and members of the cabal accused Keyamo of always de-marketing the current administration despite being a serving minister.’
