The Presidency has reacted to reports that President
Muhammadu Buhari gave the Borno State government an additional N2 billion
monthly to feed surrendered Boko Haram members.
Buhari’s Media Aide, Garba Shehu, said such claims on social
media were fake.
Shehu said the president never mentioned such when he
visited Shehu’s palace in Maiduguri recently.
In a series of tweets, the presidential aide urged Nigerians to disregard such claims, which he described as a buzz on social media.
According to Shehu: “The message making the buzz in the
social media that the “Federal Government has been giving N2.00Billion every
month to Borno State in addition to N16.00Billion given earlier to feed
surrendered Boko Haram detainees” should be dismissed for what it is: FAKE
NEWS.
“We urge you all to stay away from fraudsters and rumours.
President Buhari did not say a word about money at the Shehu’s Palace or
anywhere that he visited on his recent trip to Maiduguri.”
