Garba Shehu, the spokesperson for President Muhammadu Buhari, has stated that his boss has no issues with Festus Keyamo serving as the campaign spokesperson for the All Progressives Congress (APC).
According to reports from Monday, Buhari disapproved of the minister’s remarks since they were seen as undermining the reputation of the current administration.
Shehu clarified the reports as inaccurate in a tweet and stated that there are no intentions to have Keyamo cease serving as the campaign spokesperson for the APC.

“The news that President Muhammadu Buhari has called for the removal of Festus Keyamo, SAN, as a spokesperson of the APC Presidential Campaign Council is fake news,” he said.
“Both President Buhari and the Presidential Candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, are happy with the job Keyamo doing, and with the general setup of the impending campaign, which has already become an example for other parties.
“We [are] aware that conspiracy theories are being hatched with a ripple effect to defame our party leaders and hold back the campaign. Supporters of our candidates should not pay attention to “news” from these fountains of false narratives.”
