2023: Buhari Did Not Call For Removal Of Keyamo As Campaign Spokesperson- Presidency

The presidency has on Monday evening debunked trending reports that President Muhammadu Buhari Buhari wants Festus Keyamo SAN removed as spokesperson of the Tinubu /Shettima Campaign Organization.

Sahara Reporters had, earlier on Monday, released a report alleging that  the president requested Keyamo was relieved of his duties as spokesperson because he was “demarketing” the present administration.

However, in a series of tweets on Monday evening, Garba Shehu, Senior Special Assistant on Media to the president debunked the claims, adding that both Buhari and the presidential candidate of the ruling party, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu are happy with the way Keyamo has been dispensing his official duties.

“The news that President Muhammadu Buhari has called for the removal of Festus Keyamo, SAN as a spokesperson of the APC Presidential Campaign Council is fake news.

“Both President Buhari and the Presidential Candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu are happy with the job Keyamo doing, and with the general set up of the impending campaign, which has already become an example for other parties.

“We aware that conspiracy theories are being hatched with a ripple effect to defame our party leaders and hold back the campaign. Supporters of our candidates should not pay attention to “news” from these fountains of false narratives”, the tweets read.
