The Presidency has dismissed the publication, claiming that President Bola Tinubu gave a national honour to Aisha Yesufu, a staunch supporter of Labour Party (LP) 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi.
News360 Info reports that the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Temitope Ajaiyi, in a post via X on Friday, described the report on the purported honour as fake news.
Tinubu’s aide clarified that the Presidency has not issued any fresh honour list different from the ones in President Tinubu’s address to the joint sitting of the National Assembly on Thursday.
He wrote, The story on a viral list of national honours featuring names of Aisha Yesufu and others credited to Leadership newspaper is fake news. It should be ignored. The Presidency has not issued any fresh honours list different from the ones in President Tinubu’s address to the joint sitting of the National Assembly yesterday.
In other news, the Chairman of Tantita Security Services, Government Ekpemupolo, widely recognised as Tompolo, expressed his support for President Bola Tinubu on Friday, asserting that he is the sole visionary leader capable of revitalising the nation’s struggling economy.
The former Niger Delta warlord also claimed that a significant achievement has been made in the battle against oil theft and pipeline vandalism in the resource-rich region, reassuring Nigerians that the previously widespread sabotage of national infrastructure has now been largely mitigated.
News360 Info reports that during a press briefing organised by the PBAT Door-2-Door Movement in Abuja to commemorate Democracy Day, Tompolo, speaking through the Technical Adviser to the Presidential Amnesty Programme, Edgar Biu, stated that the President has demonstrated through his reforms that he possesses both the vision and determination to complete his initiatives.
