President Muhammadu Buhari’s Personal Assistant on New Media,
Bashir Ahmad has given the real reason the Presidential Taskforce team visited
Aso rock, Abuja.
Reports on Tuesday emerged that members of the Presidential
Task Force for the control of the coronavirus chaired by Secretary to the
Government of the Federation (SGF), Boss Mustapha were at the Presidential
Villa, Abuja, to visit Abba Kyari.
The 12-member task force team were seen at the building
which accommodates the office of the CoS and the Senior Special Assistant on
Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu.
This came following reports that Kyari and three of his
aides tested positive for COVID-19.
However, Ahmad on his Twitter page debunked reports that the
team members were at the Villa to visit Kyari.
He disclosed that they were at the Villa for a meeting on
the increasing rate of Coronavirus in Nigeria.
The presidential spokesman wrote: “The news that members of
the Presidential Task Force on COVID19 went to the Villa purposely to visit
Chief of Staff office is not an inch away from the usual fake news.
“The members of Presidnetila task force were at the Villa to
hold a meeting on COVID-19 at a facility provided for that purpose.”
There are fears at the Villa that the CoS didn’t observe
self-isolation after his Germany trip as he attended several meetings.
Kyari also led a delegation to Kogi state after the death of
Governor Yahaya Bello’s mother.
As at press time, the news of Kyari’s tests result is yet to
be officially acknowledged by the presidency.
