ZAHRA BUHARI HASN’T SECURED EMPLOYMENT WITH PPPRA – PRESIDENCY.{PHOTOS}.#PRESS RELEASE.

-
Image
      An online medium given particularly to fake news publishes that Zahra, daughter of President Muhammadu Buhari, has fraudulently secured a job with the Petroleum Products Pricing Regulatory Agency (PPPRA). While Zahra, just like any other Nigerian, can work wherever she secures employment, we hasten to add that the story is false in every material particular. The publication is untrue, malicious, and meant to cast  aspersions at the First Family, since the tendentious platform claims the job was secured fraudulently. All people of goodwill are enjoined to ignore the hack piece, masquerading as a news story. Femi Adesina Special Adviser to the President (Media and Publicity) February 12, 2020.
