Personal Assistant to the President on New Media, Mr Bashir Ahmad, has described as fake the social media reports that President Muhammadu Buhari has embarked on 20-day vacation to the United Kingdom on Saturday.
Some online media outfits, including Sahara Reporters and Peoples Gazette, reported that the president departed Abuja on April 9, for a 20-day vacation in the UK.
The news websites quoted a 2019 press statement by Femi Adesina, the Special Adviser to the President (Media & Publicity).
Reacting to the news, Ahmad wrote on his Twitter account: ”The news going round that President Muhammadu Buhari has embarked on a 20-day vacation trip to London is fake.
”The president is in Abuja and he is not planning to embark on any trip to London.”
There is no statement from the presidency, as at the time of filing this report, confirming the president’s trip to London as being speculated by the online media.
