President-elect,
Muhammadu Buhari, has refuted media speculations that he walked out
some government officials, who had come to lobby him in order to keep
their jobs, from his residence in Daura, Katsina State.
Buhari
made this clarification in a statement released in Abuja by the Director
of Media and Publicity of the APC Presidential Campaign, Mallam Garba
Shehu, on Wednesday.
Some online news portals had
reported that the NSCDC and Customs bosses had visisted the incoming
president to lobby him so that they are not laid off.
However, the statement noted that no such incident took place on April 15 as reported by the online newspaper.
“’It
was a false and an inaccurate presentation of the facts of what
transpired when some government officials visited the President-elect at
his country home.
“’It is totally out of General Buhari’s character to ask his visitors out’’, it said.
The
statement stated that the alleged visit by the Comptroller-General of
Customs, Abdullahi Inde, only happened in the imagination of the said
publication. “He did not come visiting at any time.”
On the reported incident involving Dr. Ade Abolurin, the
Commandant-General of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, the
statement said the President-elect was already in another meeting when
Abolurin visited.
“There was no way the President-elect could
receive the new visitors. He was merely passing through the town and
thought to stop by.
“As a matter of fact, words were promptly sent
to the gentleman and his delegation that General Buhari was unable to
meet them owing to the fact that he was at an ongoing meeting preceding
the time of their arrival.
“The president-elect welcomes positive suggestions from every Nigerian about how to bring progressive change to the country.
“He will not walk anyone out who had come to discuss ways of developing the country.
“Courtesy and civility will not permit that to happen. It is equally not his character.
“It is, therefore, important to put the records straight that the
President-elect will be a President for all Nigerians irrespective of
whether anyone currently holds a public office or not,” the statement
said.
