Presidency on Friday reacted to claims that the Department of State Security earlier forwarned against Tinubu-Shettima presidential ticket.
In a statement by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu said, the report that President Muhammadu Buhari ignored the DSS report which was published by the Peoples Gazette online was puerile and misleading.
The claim was published by the Peoples Gazette on Friday that the Department of State Service (DSS) warned about the Muslim-Muslim ticket of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Garba Shehu said: “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”, it reads.
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has consistently been on the firing line since, it’s standard flagbearer in the 2023 general election unveiled the former governor of Borno State, Senator Kashim Shettima as his choice of running mate.
