The Presidency has said that President Muhammadu Buhari didn’t make any anti-igbo statement during an interview with BBC Hausa Service as claimed by a pirate radio station.
Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu, in a statement, said that no one should be deceived by the pirate radio station.
Shehu said “President Buhari has not had any interview with the BBC’s Hausa Service since his assumption of office as alleged by the agents of disunity behind the pirate radio station’s inflammatory and divisive broadcast.
“The last interview he had with the BBC Hausa Service, lasting not more than five minutes, was on the day he was declared winner and given his Certificate of Return as the President-elect by the Independent National Electoral Commission.
“Thankfully, the BBC Hausa Service Editor, Mr. Mansor Liman has distanced the BBC from the false interview clip being ascribed by the pirate radio station to President Buhari.
“President Buhari is the President of all Nigerians and will continue to treat all citizens on the basis of fairness, equality and equity.”
