Former Nigerian Leader, Muhammadu Buhari has debunked reports in some quarters that he has appealed to President Bola Tinubu not to investigate former officials of government.
In a message issued by Garba Shehu, Spokesperson to former President Buhari, the former leader said such reports are fake.
“If social media is to be believed, former President Muhammadu Buhari is requesting his successor, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu not to investigate some former officials of his government.
“It is fake, let us not discuss it or give it energy or air of publicity. This is fake news, and nothing more.
“Thankfully, there was no one other than the two leaders in the room in which they met, so no one was there to report their conversation,” he said.
Garba Shehu disclosed that the former President will not interfere in the leadership of the country currently being marshalled by his successor Bola Tinubu.
“As much as possible, the former President wishes to remain outside the spotlight so as not to distract the new administration.
“He chose to go home in Daura hoping to find the type of quiet he wished for himself but realizing that this was not the case, visitors trooping in morning, day and night, he moved out to a more distant place.
“It remains his wish that he be allowed to have his needed rest, and for the Tinubu administration to have the right atmosphere to work on the realisation of the promises they made,” he added.
