PRESIDENCY DISOWNS VIRAL LIST NAMING AISHA YESUFU, 35 NIGERIANS AMONG NATIONAL HONOURS RECIPIENTS. (PHOTO).


 Presidency disowns viral list naming Aisha Yesufu, 35 Nigerians among national honours recipients


The presidency has denied issuing the viral list of national honours containing the names of Aisha Yesufu, a human rights activist, and 35 others.

On Friday, a list showing the names of new individuals who have been purportedly awarded national honours by President Bola Tinubu was circulating on social media.

Yesufu’s inclusion on the alleged list sparked reactions among supporters of the Tinubu administration, based on her vocal criticisms of the government.

There are 102 Nigerians on the list as recipients of the national honours as against 66 announced by President Bola Tinubu on Thursday.

However, Temitope Ajayi, senior special assistant to the president on media and publicity, said the presidency has not released new names for national honours different from the ones released earlier.

“The story on a viral list of national honours featuring the name of Aisha Yesufu and others credited to the Leadership newspaper is fake news. It should be ignored,” Ajayi said in a Facebook post.

“The Presidency has not issued fresh names for national honour different from the ones in President Tinubu’s address to the joint sitting of the National Assembly yesterday.”

On Thursday, Tinubu conferred national honours on 66 individuals who played active roles in Nigeria’s struggle for democracy.

The president announced the awardees during a speech at the joint sitting of the national assembly to commemorate the June 12 Democracy Day celebration.

Shehu Musa Yar’Adua, Humphrey Nwosu, and Kudirat Abiola were posthumously recognised for their critical roles in the June 12 struggle and broader democratic movements.
