Tension As Ezekwesili Lashes Out At Buhari’s Spokesman by Kingson56(m): 9:01am On Aug 23, 2016 |

Shehu is an insulting person who never gets his facts right

her without bothering to find out the truth

Oby Ezekwesili
Former education minister and convener of the
Bring Back Our Girls (BBOG) group, Oby
Ezekwesili has slammed presidential
spokesman, Garba Shehu over his ‘indecorous
and rumour- inspired verbal assault’ on her on
Sunday, August 21.

Boko Haram members?
In a statement, which was issued by Ezekwesili
on Monday, August 22 and published in the
Leadership newspaper on Tuesday, August 23,
the former World Bank vice president lashed out
at Shehu for not getting his facts right before
speaking and for wasting his time insulting her
instead of addressing more pressing matters.
According to Ezekwesili, trouble started when
she was wrongly quoted in the weekend version
of a national daily as saying that President
Muhammadu Buhari did not deserve to be
leader of Nigeria. Rather than confirm the truth
from her or from other available sources,
Shehu, Buhari’s senior special assistant on
media and publicity, fired insults back at her.
“I woke up yesterday to read a fictitious report credited to me
by Sunday Tribune that I claimed President Muhammadu
Buhari does not deserve to be president. And on the basis of
the fiction weaved together by a reporter, he let loose one of
those now-very-common indecorous and rumor- inspired
verbal assault from presidential spokesman, Mallam Garba
Shehu.
“However, today, in one of those uncommon but very
professional decisions, Tribune newspaper not only recanted
on the story but also apologized to me. While I thank the
newspaper for toeing the path of honour, I hope Mallam Garba
Shehu will also be decent enough to admit his error of
judgement and tender an unreserved apology for his falsehood
and unwarranted attacks at me,” she said.

Ezekwesili, who again called on the president
to see to the plight of 2000 immigration
workers, who were recruited but dumped
immediately after employment by the Nigeria
Immigration Service (NIS), said Shehu should
face his job and also apologize to her. |
