The Presidency has dismissed an allegation trying to prove the daughter of President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari, Zahra secured employment with the Petroleum Products Pricing Regulatory Agency (PPPRA).

In a rejoinder by Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina said the allegations by the online medium was false.

“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,” the statement read.
