Irked by comments making the rounds on social media lately, spokesman of former President Muhammadu Buhari, Mallam Garba Shehu stated in clear terms on Thursday night that General Mubammadu Buhari is not in any way scared of being probed by President Bola Tinubu.
In a statement, titled “What Buhari didn’t say to President Tinubu.” Mallam Garba Shehu debunked the comment that Buhari had pleaded with Tinubu not to investigate past government officials.
“If social media is to be believed, former President Muhammadu Buhari is requesting his successor, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu not to investigate some former officials of his government.
“It is fake, let us not discuss it or give it energy or air of publicity. This is fake news, and nothing more. Thankfully, there was no one other than the two leaders in the room in which they met, so no one was there to report their conversation.
“As much as possible, the former President wishes to remain outside the spotlight so as not to distract the new administration.
“He chose to go home in Daura hoping to find the type of quiet he wished for himself but realizing that this was not the case, visitors trooping in morning, day, and night, he moved out to a more distant place.
“It remains his wish that he be allowed to have his needed rest, and for the Tinubu administration to have the right atmosphere to work on the realization of the promises they made.”
