Buhari and Lai Mohammed



Some Nigerians on social media have dug up a snippet of a 2015 interview of Minister of Information Lai Mohammed to criticise him.

Mohammed was the National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC) at the time he granted the interview on Channels TV’s Sunrise Daily in January 2015.

In the snippet of the interview which resurfaced on Twitter on Friday, the Minister had urged Nigerians to forgive President Muhammadu Buhari for misplacing his secondary school certificate in the build-up to the 2015 presidential election.

Mohammed said:

“53 years after a fellow has left secondary school I think we should pardon him if he has not even known where he has kept it (certificate).”

Reacting to the 14-second video, some Twitter users disagreed with the minister, saying since the President had sworn on oath that his certificate was with the Nigerian Army, begging Nigerians for forgiveness implies he may have lied to the nation on oath.
