Presidency reacts to reports on Buhari canceling appointments, approvals made by Abba Kyari

Abba Kyari: Buhari mourns, says he served with no personal gain

Nigerian Presidency late Tuesday denied reports that President Muhammadu Buhari has cancelled appointments and memos approved by his former chief of staff late Abba Kyari.

Reports had over the weekend emerged that the President directed his new Chief of Staff, Professor Ibrahim Agboola Gambari, to cancel all appointments and approvals made by the late Chief of staff Abba Kyari.

The reports claimed that 150 memos were signed without Buhari’s permission.

But, reacting, Buhari’s Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, on Tuesday, described the reports as false.

Shehu urged Nigerians to disregard the reports adding that Buhari has not given anyone such power.

He wrote on Twitter, “The attention of the Presidency has been drawn to media reports alleging that President Muhammadu Buhari has cancelled a number of memos and appointments signed off by his former Chief of Staff. Not surprisingly, these reports have quoted unnamed sources.

“There is not a grain of truth in these reports and Nigerians should please ignore the insinuations behind them.

“President Buhari was duly re-elected by Nigerians in February 2019. He has not and will never cede to anyone else, that power and trust given to him by the Nigerian people.
