The Presidency says reports in some sections of the media that President Muhammadu Buhari has called for the removal of Festus Keyamo, as the Chief Spokesperson and Director of Public Affairs of the Tinubu-Shettima Campaign Council is fake news.

Senior Media Aide to the President, Garba Shehu, disclosed this, in a tweet on his official Twitter handle @Garshehu, on Monday.

Shehu, in the tweet, noted that both President Muhammadu Buhari and the All Progressives Congress’ Presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, are happy with the work Mr. Keyamo is doing, as the campaign council’s spokesperson.

He explained that they are also pleased with the general set up of the impending campaign, which has already become an example for other parties.

His words: “Both President Buhari and the Presidential Candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu are happy with the job Keyamo is doing, and with the general set up of the impending campaign, which has already become an example for other parties.”

He however added that they are aware that conspiracy theories are being hatched with a ripple effect to defame the party leadership and hold back the party campaign.

Shehu concluded, saying: “Supporters of our candidates should not pay attention to “news” from these fountains of false narratives”.
