Leave Buhari out of your issue - Presidency tells Na'Abba after invitation by DSS
The Presidency has
lashed out at former Speaker of the House of Representatives Ghali Umar Na’Abba
over his comment about his invitation by the Department of State Services
(DSS).
Recall that Na'Abba
had linked the invitation to his statement in which he accused the Muhammadu
Buhari-led administration of incompetence, failure to tackle youth unemployment
and insecurity leading to the killing of Nigerians daily.
However the
Presidency which reacted to this, insisted that the former Speaker's invitation
to the DSS has nothing to do with his comment against Buhari. In a statement by Senior Special Assistant
(SSA) to the President Mallam Garba Shehu, the Presidency decried what it
described as Na’Abba’s “publicity stunt” because President Buhari has no issues
with him.
The statement read;
“The presidency
urges the general public to ignore as a publicity stunt publicity, the widely
circulated reports alleging that former Speaker Umar Ghali Na’abba has been
invited by the Department of State Service, DSS over his alleged comments on
President Buhari.
“Our findings have
revealed that his invitation has nothing to do with the alleged irresponsible
utterances by Umar Ghali Na’abba, which in any case did not catch the attention
of the Presidency, or of any serious politician for that matter.
“There are serious
politicians who talk, and the Presidency responds because such politicians
throw jibes which must get attention. Flash in the pan politicians and those
who fabricate political relevance don’t bother anyone.
“We advise Na’abba
to distance the presidency from the situation he has found himself and sort
himself out accordingly.”
