The Presidency on Friday said the reported discussion between President Muhammadu Buhari and the World Bank Group President, Jim Yong Kim, was deliberately twisted by those who it said specialise in such acts.

Media reports had it that Kim disclosed in Washington DC, United States of America, that Buhari had requested a concentration of the bank’s intervention efforts in the northern part of Nigeria.

The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, in a statement said “ignorant and mischievous people” are making it seem that Buhari’s position was a calculated attempt to give the North an unfair advantage over other parts of Nigeria.

Adesina said the President, since his inauguration had been seeking international support for the rebuilding of the North East which was ravaged by years of insurgency.

He said what Buhari did in calling attention to the plight of the people of the region was what a leader should do.

The presidential spokesman said, “The truth of the matter is that President Buhari, right from his first week in office in June, 2015, had reached out to the G-7 in Germany that Nigeria needed help to rebuild the North-East, which had been terribly devastated by insurgency.

“He said the country would prefer help in terms of rebuilding of infrastructure, rather than cash donation, which may end up being misappropriated. In concert with Governors of the region, a comprehensive list of needed repairs was sent to the G-7 leaders.

“Also, during a trip to Washington in 2015, and many other engagements that followed, President Buhari sought the help of the World Bank in rebuilding the beleaguered North-East, which was then being wrestled from the stranglehold of a pernicious insurgency. “

Belated damage control as Buhari's bigotry is legendary from antiquity.Recall the 97/5% statement,even the independence day "hate speech" and the eastern railway corridors that were not initially included in the project but even when done,no funds were allocated for it while others have theirs approved.Sure the "presidency" cabal are here as usual to lace the obvious lie with more lies.Lies is richly engrained in the DNA of all members of the APC.*Spits*

OK maybe they belong to the opposition party too. Maybe they are PDP.

Let me stretch a little before they twist this same news again.

Twisted or not twisted,what OBJ do for SW and Nigeria at large when he was in power,the same goes to GEJ, what GEJ do for SS and SE that gave him the mandate then, nothing?So why the noise now

failed damage control,a leopard cannot change it's spot.

How can they think denying is enough. Something people can see with their own eyes

untwist it na. North and Northeast are 2 different geographical expressions. The world bank chief clearly said North not Northeast

We already know it is the work of the TANoid and IPOBIANS.

Whether they like it or not, Buhari is their President.

Let them live with it

Dont get it twisted..Love is a beautiful thing ....Don Jazzy King

"Adesina said the President, since his inauguration had been seeking international support for the rebuilding of the North East which was ravaged by years of insurgency." - Where is the North East located in Nigeria? Umuahia abi

You father is mad right, that is why he gave birth to a mad son.
Bastard.

In as much as I don’t support Kanu’s style of agitation, I condemn the attitude of the many from d South West who start to bleat trash over the issue of Biafra. For once cant they see that Nigeria has never been united. It is only united on the terms of d north with the exclusion of the Middle Belt.

Buhari has been looking for oil in the Chaf basin. Mark my words: THE DAY THE NORTH DISCOVERS OIL IN LARGE COMMERCIAL QUANTITY WOULD BE THE DAY NIGERIA’S UNITY WOULD BECOME NEGOTIABLE.
Let me see if there would be pipelines from the north to supply the closest territory in south with oil. Let me see if the south would ever burn a drop of oil from the north? That time the eyes of all those bleating at the sound of Biafra wud be opened.
