July 21, (THEWILL) — Muhammad Babangida, the son of former military President, Ibrahim Babangida, has officially accepted his appointment as the Chairman of the Bank of Agriculture (BoA), expressing deep gratitude to President Bola Tinubu for the trust reposed in him.
The presidential media aide, Olusegun Dada, announced this on Monday, in reaction to a viral fake letter, which claimed that Muhammad had rejected the appointment due to personal and professional reasons.
Dismissing the letter as false and malicious, the statement described such claims as a deliberate attempt to mislead the public and tarnish the image of the Tinubu administration.
Titled “Muhammed Babangida Accepts BOA Chairmanship. Thanks President Tinubu”, the statement read in part, “We wish to clarify that Muhammed gratefully accepts the appointment as Chairman of the Bank of Agriculture, as announced by the federal government, and extends his sincere appreciation to President Tinubu for the trust and confidence bestowed upon him.
“We also want to assure the public that those spreading these falsehoods will be thoroughly investigated and brought to justice. We remain committed to transparency, accountability, and fostering unity within our nation.”
The statement concluded with a call for Nigerians to remain discerning and to verify information from credible sources.
