The Presidency has reacted to the purported report about the
sacking of Ministers of Defence, Muhammad Badaru Abubakar, Mohammed Bello
Matawalle, and that of Power, Adebayo Adelabu.
It was reported by some media houses, not DAILY POST,
yesterday that President Bola Ahmad Tinubu had sacked the three ministers for
their failure to deliver.
While reacting to the news on his official X handle, Bayo
Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information & Strategy,
described the information as fake and meant to cause disturbance.
According to him, “Security agencies must urgently take
action against fake news websites and platforms and the purveyors who fail to
check the authenticity of the stories and make them go viral.”
“Press freedom and freedom of speech will not exist when
some people can wake up and concoct their news and narratives without regard
for truth. Fake news is simply licentiousness and must be criminalised,” the
Presidency said.
