President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday said there was no truth in claims in the local and international media that he accused or indicted the United States Government of helping the terrorist group, Boko Haram.

In a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, the President described the reports as widely off mark.

He described the reports as unfortunate misinterpretation and distortion of his remarks at the United States Institute of Peace during his official visit to Washington DC.

He said he made it clear in those remarks, copies of which were circulated to the media, that he was convinced that the United States could never support groups such as Boko Haram.

The statement read in part, “The regrets expressed by President Buhari at USIP about the impact of the application of the Leahy Law on Nigeria’s war against Boko Haram and terrorism cannot be construed as an indictment of President Barack Obama and the United States Government who have publicly and privately declared their preparedness to give the Buhari Administration the fullest possible support and assistance.

“Within the context in which they were made, President Buhari’s comments on the adverse effect of the Leahy Law on Nigeria’s efforts to contain Boko Haram’s atrocious acts of terrorism should only be taken as a passionate appeal for even greater understanding and support from a very powerful and longstanding ally.

“President Buhari has nothing but the highest possible regard for President Obama, the United States Government, the people of the United States, their laws and institutions.

“The President had very successful and useful talks with President Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, Secretary of State John Kerry, other high-ranking US government officials and members of United States Congress during his visit to Washington DC.

“It is his expectation that those talks will lead to better mutual understanding and a further deepening of bilateral relations between Nigeria and the United States, especially in Nigeria’s current priority areas of defence and security cooperation.”

Ok

Confused old man

Baba let them continue wailing
I have some above me.
They have right to wail according to one of their madam "Oby" something

What is GMB even afraid of ?
It is obvious the United States is in FULL support of Boko Haram.
The United States is the ONLY bloody terrorist country in the whole wild world.
The ONLY country to have used weapon of mass destruction on both women/children.
The ONLY country that supplies militants/terrorists weapons to fight/destroy their own government.
The ONLY country that preaches FREEDOM but oppresses any sovereign country that wouldn't support GAY marriages.
The WORST racist country. When there's a shooting(BlackMan>>Thug, Arab>> Terrorist, White>>Gunman)
The ONLY country that invades other people's country and breaks international protocols.
They are ONLY heroes in the movies. Gullible people will watch "tears of the sun" and be like wow, I love the US.(Na wash).


My conclusion, F*ck the USA. Oh, f*ck you too if you quote me to type rubbish.

Who cares?

Seems to me that this man is trying to curry favor from the west, now he seems to be defending the obvious.

Truth is the powerful respect only the confident and outspoken and he seems to be doing the opposite.. Shaa let's wait and see...


Dis ftc rush dun taya me, I give up *sobbing*

Season of denial part 2..... part 3 loading

Baba ,please don't mind the wailing waillers, keep working to improve NIGERIA, even if every1 is against you,you will always have my support, any day,any time ......GOD bless and keep you, SAI BABA!

When it comes to combating boko haram, Nigeria should look towards the east. Western nations have never helped any country to solve terrorism. Terrorism actually get worse after their intervention.

Lol Damage Control. I like this man

This is not denying but rather it is putting the records straight. If you are conversant with media penchant for sensationalizing stories, you will agree with me that media deliberately twist the truth for commercial purposes. Why not look for the original script of his speech before jumping to conclusions that he is denying?

I know bubu must deny. Talk today, deny tomorrow. Is this how he plan to lead
