national leader of APC, Bola Tinubu has been
placed on security watch following allegations
that he is working against President Buhari.
A statement released this evening by Senior
Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to
President Buhari, Garba Shehu, says that
the claims are false and unfounded.
The statement reads;
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 Action Progressives
Congress, 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 the 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. I got on
the phone a short while ago with General Babagana
Munguno, (Rtd), the National Security Adviser
and the Director General of the SSS, Lawal Daura
who both dismissed the published reports as acts
of pure mischief. They are not aware of the
Asiwaju being on any kind of watch. It would
appear that a competition is on between two or
three newspaper establishments on how best
to breach the excellent relationship between
the pillars of our party and government. So far,
they have not made a headway and there is no
indication that they will succeed in the future. It
suffices to say that such reports, written without
fairness and balance can only take away from
whatever is left of the credibility of these
newspapers. The general public is hereby
advised to ignore them on these reports."
