Lai Mohammed, minister of
information, says the opposition is disappointed that President Muhammadu
Buhari refused to die after his illness.
Mohammed said this in Kaduna when
he visited Nasir el-Rufai, governor of the state, on Thursday.
In 2017, Buhari spent 150 days in
the UK treating an undisclosed ailment. There were rumours that he had died.
He said critics of the All
Progressives Congress (APC) government have resorted to fake news because they
do not have achievements to speak on.
“Fake news has been on the rise
because the opposition cannot debate on our governments whether at state or federal
level on any issue. We challenge the opposition on the achievements it made
either in agriculture, security, in the economy or fighting corruption,”
Mohammed said.
“Rather they have found out that
the most potent weapon is fake news. They claim that the president that we are
seeing today has been cloned and it is one Jibril from Sudan. Why are doing
this? They are disappointed that the president refused to die after his
illness.
“Just some days ago they reported
me as saying that Mr President does not know the way to his office because he
has lost his memory and nobody ever bothered to ask ‘when did I say this, where
did I say this.’
“We have it on good authority
that the opposition consultants from various parts of the world and whose only
duty is to churn out fake news.”
