The official spokesperson to President Muhammadu Buhari, Garba shehu, has on Sunday assured Nigerians that the President is not in any form of danger.
This is coming on the heels of the recent incident among the occupants of the State House which escalated to the arrest of some staff by the police.
Shehu in the statement on his Twitter handle @GarShehu described the incident which he said happened outside the main residence of the President, as a minor occurrence, which he said, does not warrant attacks on the government and the person of President Muhammadu Buhari.
The tweet 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” , it ended.
Recall that SaharaReporters had reported the crisis in Aso rock, where it revealed that Aisha Buhari’s Aide De Camp and other security details forced her husband’s Personal Assistant, Saibu ‘Tunde’ Yusuf out of Aso Villa on Thursday after he refused to embark on a 14-day isolation period after a trip from Lagos.
