The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and
Publicity, Garba Shehu, on Sunday said there was no truth in the rumour making
the rounds that President Muhammadu Buhari had passed on in London, United
Kingdom.
Shehu said this in a series of tweets he posted on his
Twitter handle, @GarShehu, amidst unconfirmed reports on social media platforms
and some online new sites on the President’s health.
The presidential spokesman urged Nigerians to discard the
reports which he said were being peddled by vested interests in order to cause
panic.
He said there was no cause for apprehension because nothing
unpleasant had happened to the President.
Shehu wrote, “Baseless rumours are trending again that an
unpleasant thing has happened to our beloved President, Muhammadu Buhari.
‘If you have received this information on WhatsApp or
Facebook, disregard it because it is plain lies spread by vested interests to
create panic
“Nothing unpleasant has happened to the President. No cause
for apprehension. Thanks for the many calls.”
