The Presidency on Saturday denied a report claiming that 81% of President Muhammadu Buhari’s appointments have been going to the North.
A statement by the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, said that the article originally published by a business newspaper on Sunday, 29th October 2017, is either an ignorant effort or a mischievous attempt by the publication to mislead the public and portray the Buhari administration in bad light.
He said that what the newspaper did essentially was roughly putting together a string of misleading statements across two pages of a newspaper.
“To push this biased reportage, which wrongly claimed that 81 of President Muhammadu Buhari’s 100 appointees are Northerners, the writer unilaterally selected 100 appointees to drive home the distraction presented as “facts”."
