The Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, has denied
speculations that there is rift between President Buhari, acting
president Yemi Osinbajo and some Ministers.
Lai Mohammed refuted the
speculation when he spoke with newsmen at the venue of an event
organised by the Aviation Round Table, an industry pressure group, in
Lagos.
“There is no division between the Acting President and the Cabinet,
there is no division between the Acting President and Mr President,” he
told newsmen
The Minister in his interview called on the media to be responsible
in its reportage, particularly with reports that contain hate speeches.
“Most of the people who consume these hate speeches don’t know much
better, otherwise they will know that there is absolutely no truth in
what is being circulated. All these talks about division, I think they
are just fictions of the imagination but they have a purpose which is to
weaken this government, to ensure that we are distracted and I’m happy
that we as a government, we are resolved that this is a very trying time
of Nigeria and we must all put in our best to ensure that this country
remains one”he said
