Presidency Shuts Down Tales Tinubu Won’t Be Sworn-In As President On MAY 29

The Presidency has shut down emerging tales that Asiwaju – Bola Ahmed Tinubu won’t be sworn in as the next President of Nigeria on May 29, 2023.

The Presidency describes the tales as ” outrageous and fake”.

“How can you vigorously campaign for somebody, vote for him and then say you won’t hand over to him? This beggars belief.” a statement signed by Special Adviser, Garba Shehu pulled the rug on a report crediting President Buhari with quotes that he won’t hand over to Tinubu.

Tinubu won the February 25, 2023, presidential election to become President-Elect.

President Buhari kickstarted the handover process after the election and at different times insisted he is on his way out of office.

“The Presidency wishes to denounce as outrageous and fake, and condemns the fake news brigade for attributing a false quote to President Muhammadu Buhari and circulating it” the Presidency reacted to the report of an alleged plot, not to hand over.

The Presidency’s reaction with the header “The President Never Said He Won’t Hand Over To Elected Tinubu” further explained that

“The government is already in transition phase.

The Transition Committee, made up of representatives of the outgoing administration and the incoming one is meeting on an almost daily basis planning the handover to the Tinubu/Shettima administration.

Thirteen committees as offshoots of the main committee, some, to arrange military drills and pulling out of President Buhari, are either all at work or soon to be.

So far, everything is going very well and there is no indication of any hitches.

As for the President, the Daura community has begun their preparations to receive their son back after the successful administration of the country for two terms of eight years. He, for his part, is eager to return home to enjoy his retirement.”
