Buhari didn’t cancel appointments ratified by late Abba Kyari — Presidency

Muhammadu Buhari

The Presidency has debunked reports suggesting that President Muhammadu Buhari ordered the cancellation of 150 memos and appointments signed by his former Chief of Staff, late Abba Kyari.

This was stated in a statement issued on Tuesday night by the President’s Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu.

The presidential aide urged Nigerians to ignore the media report as those behind it did not wish the nation well.

The statement read: “The attention of the Presidency has been drawn to media reports alleging that President Muhammadu Buhari has cancelled a number of memos and appointments signed off by his former Chief of Staff.

“Not surprisingly, these reports have quoted unnamed sources.

“There is not a grain of truth in these reports and Nigerians should please ignore the insinuations behind them.

“President Buhari was duly re-elected by Nigerians in February 2019.

“He has not and will never cede to anyone else, that power and trust given to him by the Nigerian people.’’
