The Office of the Senior Special Assistant to President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan on Public Affairs has denied a report circulating online that Dr. Doyin Okupe has identified Alhaji Muhammadu Buhari as the main sponsor of the Boko Haram group.
The office has described the story as false and the handiwork of evil persons who are out to tarnish the image of Okupe and cause disaffection in the country by setting citizens against each other and against government.
A statement on Monday, signed by Dr. Olusanya on behalf of Okupe, advised journalists to always check with the office before going to press “as we are ready to volunteer information as we have always done.
“We also enjoin the good people of Nigeria to discountenance this fictitious report because at no time did Dr. Okupe identify the former Head of State as a sponsor of Boko Haram.”
