Update: “Buhari Walks Comptroller-General of Customs And Civil Defence (NSCDC) Out Of His House” — Read What Buhari Says Himself
President-elect Muhammadu Buhari yesterday dismissed reports that he walked some government officials out of his Daura, Katsina State home.
Director, Media and Publicity of the APC presidential campaign, Mallam Garba Shehu said in a statement that the incident only took place in the writer’s imagination.
“It was a false and an inaccurate presentation of the facts of what transpired when some government officials visited the President-elect at his Daura country home. It is totally out of Buhari’s character to ask his visitors out.”
Shehu stated that the alleged visit by the Comptroller-General of Customs, Abdullahi Inde only happened in the imagination of the said publication, saying ‘he did not come visiting at any time.’
On the visit of the Commandant-General of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Dr. Ade Abolurin, Shehu said the Buhari was in another meeting when the Commandant-General came and there was no way the President-elect could receive the new visitors.
“He was merely passing through the town and thought to stop by. As a matter of fact, words were promptly sent to the gentleman and his delegation that Buhari was unable to meet them owing to the fact of an-going meeting.
“The president-elect welcomes positive suggestions from every Nigerian about how to bring progressive change to the country. He will not walk anyone who had come to discuss ways of developing the country. Courtesy and civility will not permit that to happen. It is equally not his character.”
