PRESIDENCY ORDERS WITHDRAWAL OF ‘FAKE NEWS’ PRESS RELEASE ON THE ORDER OF ARREST OF NFF CHAIRMAN.#PRESS RELEASE.

Image
       A press release in circulation in the last 24 hours, to the effect that President Muhammadu Buhari has ordered the arrest and prosecution of Amaju Pinnick, the NFF Chairman, is fake news because anyone familiar with the President’s unmitigated and unshakable commitment to the due processes of the law will not make such assumptions of the President. The position of the President that allegations of criminal natur e should be addressed only by investigation and law enforcement agencies, within the framework of the law has not changed. It is not in the nature of President Buhari to say go and arrest that man or woman as formed the practice in the past. Rather, he allows all allegations of this nature to be addressed using the mechanism of the rule of law even as law enforcement and investigation agencies should not in any way be hampered in performing their duties. At the same time, nobody should drop names to seek to influence the course of those investigations.

RIVERS PEOPLE WILL END THE DICTATORIAL TENDENCIES OF POLITICAL GODFATHERS IN 2019-GOV. WIKE.{PHOTOS}.#PRESS RELEASE.

      Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike has declared that 2019 General Elections will be used by Rivers people to put an end to the dictatorial tendencies of political godfathers. Governor Wike also stated that Rivers politics cannot be controlled by any single politician, because it is not a State in the South-West where a political godfather has usurped the mandate of the people. Speaking during the dedication of the 2019 PDP Campaigns at the Cathedral Church of Saint, Port Harcourt on Sunday, Governor Wike said if Rivers people allow political godfathers to succeed in planting their godsons, they will suffer the consequences. "If you allow Rivers State to be like one of the states in the south-west, we will all suffer for it. "Luckily for us, we don't speak one language. Therefore, it is very difficult for any leader from an ethnic nationality to control the entire state. In that South-West state, a political godfather says something against a sitting

PRESIDENT BUHARI WILL CAMPAIGN FOR ALL APC CANDIDATES-GARBA SHEHU.#PRESS RELEASE.

Image
       Following repeated media enquiries on the matter, the Presidency wishes to state in clear and unmistakable terms that as a party leader and a candidate on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the coming elections, President Muhammadu Buhari will campaign for the party and all its candidates. This however does not mean that he, as the nation’s leader, will decline courtesy calls or offers of support from c itizens including candidates flying the flags of other parties. There is no doubt that the President has no competition here in terms of popularity in the coming elections. But the more support he gets, the wider the margin of victory there will be. So please let there be no confusion about this. President Buhari is APC. He will campaign for all APC candidates, but he welcomes support and endorsements. Garba Shehu Senior Special Assistant to the President (Media & Publicity) January 6, 2019
