The Presidency on Monday
dismissed the allegation that President Muhammadu Buhari gave the leadership of
the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, N40million for “transportation” when
the body visited the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The claim was made by the
National Christian Elders’ Forum, NCEF.
CAN President, Samson Ayokunle,
had fired back in a statement which urged Nigerians to disregard NCEF and its
“catalogue of lies.”
Reacting, Senior Special
Assistant on Media and Publicity to the President, Garba Shehu told The Nation
that the allegation was false.
He advised those who made the
claim to check their facts, saying such money could have been given to CAN
under the past Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, government.
“Which Presidency gave CAN N25
million? If anybody tells you that President Buhari gave CAN N25 million, will
you believe it?
“Which Presidency are they
talking about, is it under APC or under PDP? Let them go and check.
“No, no, it cannot be under
Buhari. It cannot be. Not under Buhari. Buhari cannot do that kind of thing. It
will not happen,” he said.
