The Presidency has described as false, the report making the rounds on the social media that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has replaced his Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila, with his Principal Private Secretary, Hakeem Muri-Okunola.
In a statement by the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Mr. Bayo Onanuga, the Presidency called on Nigerians to disregard the report in its entirety.
“The Chief of Staff remains in his position. The Principal Private Secretary likewise remains in his role. Hakeem Muri-Okunola has not replaced Femi Gbajabiamila as Chief of Staff,” the report reads.
The Presidency added that the viral claim was a fabrication by mischievous purveyors of fake news whose sole aim was to create disharmony within the government.
The Presidency urged news media to always verify their information before publishing or sharing on social media.
