The Presidency has debunked viral report circulating on social media suggesting that President Bola Tinubu has replaced his Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila, with his Principal Private Secretary, Hakeem Muri-Okunola.
In a statement on Sunday by presidential spokesman, Bayo Onanuga, he said there was absolutely no truth to the story, and advised Nigerians to disregard it entirely.
“The Chief of Staff remains in his position,” Onanuga said. “The Principal Private Secretary likewise remains in his role. Hakeem Muri-Okunola has not replaced Femi Gbajabiamila as Chief of Staff.”
The presidency described the viral claim as a fabrication by mischievous purveyors of fake news whose sole aim is to create disharmony within the government.
The statement urged news media to always verify their information before publishing or sharing on social media.
