Alleged Attack On Buhari: Presidency Responds
The presidency has dismissed rummors of an attack on President Muhammadu Buhari during his visit to Kebbi on Thursday during his visit to declare open the Argungu Fishing and Cultural Festival.
Giving what it claimed as the correct perspective of what happened Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity said what happened was an over-enthusiastic supporter of the president trying to grab him but that he was stopped by security officers.
Adesina in the statement said:
As the President went around the arena to inspect rice pyramids on display, and take photographs with farmers, a young man was so very excited to see his President so close. He made an attempt to get to him.
World over, such would not be allowed by security details. The young man was prevented, and he protested that he should be allowed to greet his President. Now, professional contortionists are making mischief of the event. They are passing the video clip off on social media as an attempt to attack the President.
Malicious people always twist things to give a negative narrative. But they simply dash their heads against the wall. The country moves on.
