Luther King Centre Denies Giving Award To Buhari by Nobody: 4:39am On Mar 29, 2018
Following the much publicised event of Tuesday, March 27, where President Muhammadu Buhari was given an award in Abuja by visitors purportedly from the family of late African American civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., The King Centre has issued a statement denying that the award was issued by them or the children of MLK Jr.

In a tweet late Wednesday night, the official Twitter handle of The King Center said: “The award given to President Buhari of Nigeria was not given by The King Center, at the request of The King Center or by the children of #MLK and #CorettaScottKing. @MrFixNigeria”

Though the representatives who gave the award are related, they appear not to be direct descendants of the late Dr. King. One of the guests is reportedly King’s brother’s wife and another a nephew as reported in the Daily Sun on Tuesday.
The Presidency had tweeted soon after the award was given yesterday: “President @MBuhari today at the State House received Martin Luther King Jnr’s family. He was also conferred with the 1st Black History Month National Black Excellence and Exceptional African Leadership Award 2018. #AsoVillaToday”
The Presidency is yet to respond to this clarification by the children of MLK.

It would have been good image laundry but it is too foolish but very bold for his aides to pull off such scam at the presidential level.

Buhari literally received these fruadsters in Aso Rock aided by his assistant, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, the Senior Special Assistant. Quite laughable.

We are not surprised. No serious person will have any meaningful dealing with Buhari ask Bill Gates or the US secretary of state
