No DSS advisory before President Buhari on APC running mate – Presidency

By KEMI KASUMU

The Presidency in Nigeria has debunked an online media report saying the Department of State Service (DSS) had written President Muhammadu Buhari warning him that the Muslim-Muslim ticket of All Progressives Congress (APC) will lead to destabilization of the country.

Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Malam Garba Shehu, in dismissing the report via a statement issued in Abuja on Friday, said it is a false story.

He said, “We wish to advise well-meaning Nigerians to ignore a laughably puerile report by an apparently pirate online newspaper seeking to sow division and chaos on the choice of Governor Kashim Shettima as the Running Mate of our Party’s Presidential Candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

“This so-called newspaper is like a deadly virus. Stay safe by keeping away from its toxic reports,” the statement said.
