The Nigerian government has
reacted to report making the rounds on social media that Leah Sharibu, one of
the abducted Dapchi school girls was dead.
Minister of Information and
Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, at a press conference on Sunday in Ilorin, Kwara
State, described the report as ‘absolute fake news’
He blamed the news as a ploy by
the opposition party to dent the image of APC just few days to presidential
election.
He said: “It’s absolutely fake
news. There is nothing like that
“The rumour of Miss Sharibu’s
death, which surfaced just a few days to the presidential election, is another
ploy by the political opposition to tarnish the image of the administration and
exploit primordial sentiments ahead of the polls.
“I think it’s part of the
opposition’s strategies to throw everything at the administration and at the
President. I think everyday they are realising the hopelessness of their
position.
“Everyday, they are amazed by the
support Mr. President is receiving from every part of the country and they have
decided that they are going to spread falsehood, inflame passion and make this
election a Muslim-Christian affair or North-South affair, but people are not
listening to them.”
