Presidency speaks on Buhari going on a 20-day vacation abroad

The Presidency has dismissed a report which states that the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) would be going for a 20-day vacation abroad.

The report stated that the president would be visiting the United Kingdom, UK, Saudi Arabia and Austria.

Reacting to the report, the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, advised Nigerians to disregard it.

He said: “Purveyors of fake and concocted Information are currently on overdrive, and Nigerians are urged to be careful what they consume as news, and also share with others, particularly from the social media.

“An unfounded information has been making the rounds that President Muhammadu Buhari is billed to travel to the United Kingdom for 20 days, and from there proceed to Saudi Arabia, and then Austria. Fake. It is nothing but falsehood from mischievous minds.” Adesina added that Buhari, his family and government officials have been victims of orchestrated falsehood in Nigeria.

“Members of the First Family, Ministers, top government officials, the military, and other key institutions, are equally objects of this orchestrated falsehood, coming from enemies of national cohesion.

“We urge Nigerians to be discriminatory about what they accept as credible information and restrain themselves from sharing what they have not authenticated as genuine. That is how we can all collectively beat the malevolent minds at their pernicious games,” he added.
