Laolu Akande ask the public to disregard the people asking the whereabouts of President Muhammadu Buhari and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo.
Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Office of the Vice President, Laolu Akande has urged Nigerians to disregard the fake rumoured regarding the whereabouts of President Muhammadu Buhari and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo.
According to Akande, the Vice President recently had videoconferencing meeting with the Kaduna State Governor, Mallam Nasir Ahmad El-Rufa, Power and Finance Minister and CBN Governor, among other distinguished government officials.
“By the way, continue to ignore professional fake news conduits who share fictions about the whereabouts of the president and his Vice.
“The critical mass of our people sees both the President and the Vice President regularly on television, hear about them regularly on radio, read from them in the press and observe their activities regularly on the social media.
“For instance, on Thursday the Vice President held a videoconferencing meeting that included the Governor of Kaduna, Power and Finance Ministers, the CBN governor and other government officials on how to expand electricity in the country.
The work goes on, and Nigeria will surely prevail. We will do it together.”
Lately, some reports have raised concerns about the whereabouts of Osinbajo since the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic.
Buhari’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, had recently explained that Osinbajo had been busy working with the Economic Sustainability Committee(ESC).
The ESC was constituted by President Buhari on March 30 to develop a clear economic sustainability plan until 2023.
The committee was tasked with identifying fiscal and monetary measures to enhance oil and non-oil revenues in order to fund the plan; develop a stimulus package and come up with measures to create more jobs while keeping existing ones.
