The Presidency on Monday
dismissed reports that President Muhammadu Buhari will be embarking on 20 day
vacation abroad.
Reports surfaced on social media
claiming that Buhari will on Wednesday embark on a 20-day vacation to the
United Kingdom, UK, Saudi Arabia and Austria.
However, Buhari’s Special Adviser
on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina urged Nigerians to discountenance the
report.
In a statement he signed and sent, Adesina described the report as false.
He said: “Purveyors of fake and
concocted Information are currently on overdrive, and Nigerians are urged to be
careful what they consume as news, and also share with others, particularly
from the social media.
“An unfounded information has
been making the rounds that President Muhammadu Buhari is billed to travel to
the United Kingdom for 20 days, and from there proceed to Saudi Arabia, and
then Austria. Fake. It is nothing but falsehood from mischievous minds.”
Adesina stated that Buhari’s
family members, government officials are victims of what he termed orchestrated
falsehood in the country.
“Members of the First Family,
Ministers, top government officials, the military, and other key institutions,
are equally objects of this orchestrated falsehood, coming from enemies of
national cohesion.
“We urge Nigerians to be
discriminatory about what they accept as credible information and restrain
themselves from sharing what they have not authenticated as genuine. That is
how we can all collectively beat the malevolent minds at their pernicious
games,” he added.
