How Fake News Started In Nigeria – Aisha Buhari by deantimes(m): 5:00pm On Oct 13, 2019
Aisha Buhari, the First Lady, has narrated how fake news began in the country.

Mrs Buhari gave the narrative after returning from the United Kingdom where she went to have a ‘well deserved rest.’

Her husband, President Muhammadu Buhari, who has severally been a victim of fake news was recently rumored to have concluded plans to walk down the aisle with another woman, positioning the alleged new bride as his second wife.

The first lady is not left out as she is recently speculated to be waging war with cabals in her husband’s government. Although she had during her husband’s first term complained of some outsiders hijacking the mandate given to the president, Buhari has repeatedly dismissed it, saying he is in charge of his administration.

Narrating how it started, Mrs Buhari said fake news began with the rumored death of her husband while he was receiving treatment for an undisclosed ailment.

“The genesis of this fake news started when my husband fell sick and perpetrators of this act were showing fake ambulance, hospital and dead body suggesting that my husband was dead,” Mrs Buhari said.

”That time, I received so many calls from other first ladies and presidents of other countries to confirm (the rumour); so I called the attention of NCC, NBC and the National Orientation Agency,” she added.

The first lady also called for the tackling of disseminating false information before it leads to serve consequences.

”Fake news will lead this country to something else if actions are not taken with immediate effect,” she warned.

TODAY POLITICS recalled that a parody website was first to carry the news of the alleged death of the president.

A former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode and Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the proscribed Indigenous People Of Biafra (IPOB) are some of those who gave credence to the story. The duo said the present occupant in the seat of power is an impersonator from Sudan.

This so-called fake news was scripted by DSS to divert the attention of Nigerians from border closure complaints, Sowore, VP's travails and to make us not believe upcoming events' leaks, which many Nigerians may tag as similar to this marriage rumor.

This is what CIA does too in the US. cool

Fake news in Nigeria, Mrs Buhari is an invention of the APC. They employed it so well in thier smear campaign against GEJ.
On the other hand Mrs Buhari, your absence for several months without due transparency gave rise to this 2nd wife rumour and your sudden return 2 days after the botched wedding validates the rumour. You 4 still dey dia na make u see weda the konji stricken Jubril for nor marry anoda pesin.

Was the war fought in Nigeria?
We are talking about Nigerian issues and you are bringing World War II. Let me ask you were you politically conscious in 1945?

I have always wondered at all that lie Muhammed nonsense. APC did not tell any lies against gej. They simply trumpeted his obvious failures and incompetence. To be frank gej did a bang up job advertising his failures all by himself. Stealing is not corruption, America will know, chibok girls are a hoax.

And then there was the amazing Dame P. With the cringe inducing dia is god o! Born throway, the crazy fights with amaechi

Your husband & his APC govt not only employed fake news(esp.on their self-created BH menace) but also used overt lies, deceit & propaganda to deceive gullible Nigerians in their inordinate quest for power.

Today where has it led them? Any wonder his govt is not making headway? Abeg face your Aso Rock family palava. sad Anyone noticed Lai Mohammed is no more talking again?

Even Aisha Buhari going to take a "well deserved rest" is also fake news because she was simply running away from the pressure of the presidency cabal.
