Presidency debunks DSS statement on Muslim Muslim candidate
The Presidency has denied reports that President Muhammadu Buhari received a report from the Department of State Services that a Muslim Muslim ticket will destabilise Nigeria.
Reacting to the statement, Garba Shehu, spokesperson to President Buhari described the report as laughable.
“We wish to advise well-meaning Nigerians to ignore a laughably puerile report by an apparently pirate online newspaper seeking to sow division and chaos on the choice of Governor Kashim Shettima as the running mate of our party’s presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
“This so-called newspaper is like a deadly virus. Stay safe by keeping away from its toxic reports,” the terse statement read.
According to the report published by Leadership Newspaper, the state security agency wrote President Buhari to warn him that the decision of his party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) to field MuslimMuslim ticket will destabilise Nigeria’s fragile security.
