The Presidency has condemned what it described as ”a twisted story with malicious intent” which was published in Saturday Punch of Sept. 14, with the headline; “Tribunal: Buhari retracts, confesses he was under tension.”

The news story was derived from what the President said when he received All Progressives Congress (APC) governors, who had come to felicitate with him at State House, Abuja on Friday.

The President’s spokesman, Mr Femi Adesina, in a statement in Abuja on Saturday, said the newspaper was being mischievous by trying to link up what the president said in an earlier statement (on the judgment) with his remarks during the Friday visit.

The statement read part: ”Referring specifically to judgment day by the tribunal, which coincided with the maiden meeting of the Federal Executive Council (FEC), President Buhari had said: “It was a fabulous coincidence that it came almost the same time the first FEC meeting of this government was taking place.


“It lasted about the same time with the judgment. I thank God for that because I think I would have gone into trauma or something. So, I was busy trying to concentrate on the memos.

”An elementary understanding of the English language shows that President Buhari was talking specifically of the day and time of the court ruling, not before.

”Saturday Punch went further to say that the President’s remarks amounted to a retraction of his earlier statement, in which he said he had been unperturbed about the judicial challenge to his electoral victory.

”Hear the statement personally approved earlier on Wednesday by the President: ‘Good conscience fears no evil report. I was unperturbed all along because I knew Nigerians freely gave us the mandate. We are now vindicated.’

”I was unperturbed all along… Was that referring to judgment day? A simple comprehension of English language indicates otherwise. It referred to the many months the case lasted in court.”

Ok

We don't know who to believe and whom not to.

Humm

Done

kk

I said it. How can they say he used the FEC to kill the tribunal tensions even when Atiku himself already knew of his impending defeats.

Poor journalism everywhere these days

Only God knows the truth

Intersting

Nah una sabi, better start working and eat the yam small small

Issoryt....we just take one eye dey watch ur government

The first was a statement released on his behalf, the latter his what Buhari said with his own mouth

power is transient! power is transient!! power is transient!!! thread carefully

Ok

Not interesting

Traumatic Government

The only solution to bad government in Nigeria is Mass protest against the government by the citizens.(I mean a protest that will attract the UN)
Some one in the game told me that it is the only solution to our problem.
I want a good United Nigeria but I can't have it on my own.
The mentality of God will save us might not work in this situation because heaven helps those who help themselves.


And also those of you that are blaming bUHARI for every thing that happens in any part of Nigeria, don't forget that every state have governor for a reason.
So if the governor of the state is eating the progress of the state pls don't call bUHARI hold the governor responsible.

I know my comment might not have any thing to do with this,
But I'm just expressing my concern and hope for a better Nigeria.
Thank you and good night

Buhariiiiiii

Did anyone notice that most of the words on different news on Saturday Punch were full of errors?
As in, lots of errors, grammatical blunders and bombs.
It was as if someone hijacked their news and changed everything there.
I wouldn't be surprised about this one too.

CrestMan:
Buhariiiiiii

Hahahaha

Right now it doesn’t matter what the president said.

The question is..Did he make that statement after the period of the tribunal, if yes...what's the Ado about it

We don't know who to believe and whom not to.

You know the truth . But you chose to believe the lies and mischiefs

After telling us that you can be qualified without a certificate, you now think u can equally convince us that we don't know the meaning of the two statements! Femi Adesina the grammarian!

PMB was never under tension cos they've had everything planned out from beginning
