BEVERLY HILLS, October 07 (THEWILL) – The presidency has distanced President Muhammadu Buhari from a letter currently in circulation, which alleges that the President had authorized a Governor or anyone else for that matter to “deal with traitors and disloyal members of APC, especially Senator Shehu Sani.”
THEWILL recalls that Governor of Kaduna state was reported to have written a letter to the President informing him of the many ‘sins’ of Sani with the President quoted as giving his approval for moves to prevent Sani from returning to the Senate.
Reacting the letter, the presidency, in a statement by Garba Shehu, Senior Special Assistant to the President, Media and Publicity, declared that the President could never had authorized such moves.
“We wish to confirm that the President is not aware of any such letter, let alone authorising anyone to deal with any party member,” the statement read.
“Given President Buhari’s record, it is inconceivable that he would usurp the role of the party leaders and instruct anyone to punish a party member.
“In the light of above, we would like to appeal to the general public, especially members of the press, to ignore false or unauthorized information intended to attribute to the President any action which is not in line with his character.
