Garba Shehu, the spokesman to ex-President Muhammadu Buhari, Garba Shehu, has denied that his principal asked President Bola Tinubu not to investigate some ministers under the previous government.
He also revealed that Buhari had left Daura for London to get some needed rest after handing over to Tinubu.
“If social media is to be believed, former President Muhammadu Buhari is requesting his successor, President Bola Tinubu not to investigate some former officials of his government…this is fake news, and nothing more,” Shehu said in a statement he signed on Thursday evening titled ‘What Buhari didn’t say to President Tinubu.’
On Tuesday, an online news outlet reported that Tinubu assured his predecessor that he and his close aides will be spared in any anti-corruption war his government embarks upon following the suspension of the EFCC Chairman, Abdulrasheed Bawa.
“It is fake, let us not discuss it or give it energy or air of publicity,” said Shehu.
He noted that there was no one other than the two leaders in the room in which they met on Monday night.
“So, no one was there to report their conversation,” he added.
