Fresh battle! PDP comes down hard on presidential spokesman Garba Shehu
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has taken to its official Twitter account to condemn in totality the recent statement credited to the senior special assistant to the President on media and publicity, Garba Shehu, on the alleged health status of President Muhammadu Buhari as well as his trip to the United kingdom.
The presidential spokesman in a Facebook post on Saturday, January 21, refuted speculations that the President was ill and dead, but went ahead to commit a blunder by throwing shade at former president, Goodluck Jonathan, in his post.
Shehu wrote: “He is alive and well! President Buhari is not magical. He cannot be holidaying in the UK and be in Germany, dead or alive at the same time.
“He is unlike a past President who was at Ota, with Chief Obasanjo and attending the Trump inauguration in D.C, being in two places at the same time!”
Despite the fact that several Nigerians have lashed out on the presidential mouthpiece for sounding childish, the national publicity secretary of the PDP, Prince Dayo Adeyeye, in a recent tweet posted on the party’s Twitter handle, further blasted Shehu for his careless comments on sensitive issues.
