The presidency has reacted to the power tussle going on in the Aso Rock villa stating that President Muhammadu Buhari was not in any form of danger arising from the infectious Coronavirus.
Remember that the First Lady Aisha Buhari raised alarm when the President’s nephew and personal assistant Sabiu Yusuf refused to self isolate after returning from Lagos State which resulted in fisticuffs in the villa.
The Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu hs released a statement regarding the incident stating that the President has complied with rule of law by asking the police to investigate on the matter.
The statement reads, “The Presidency wishes to acknowledge concerns expressed by several members of the public regarding the recent incident among the occupants of the State House which escalation led to the arrest of some staff by the police.
This is to assure everyone that the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, @MBuhari, is not, and was not at any time in any form of danger arising, either from deadly infections or the reported incident by security personnel which is currently under investigation.”
“This particular incident happened outside the main residence of the President.
Armed guards and other security personnel assigned to the State House receive the necessary training of especially weapons handling and where they come short, their relevant agencies have their rules and regulations to immediately address them.
Having authorized the proper investigation to be carried out into this unfortunate incident by the Police, the President has acted in compliance with the rule of law. That a minor occurrence is being used by some critics to justify attacks on the government and the person of President Muhammadu Buhari beggars belief.
In this particular instance, the President says the law should be allowed to take its course.”
