FGN Presidential Transition Council @FGNPTC

OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY TO THE GOVERNMENT OF THE FEDERATION

PRESS RELEASE

PRESIDENTIAL TRANSITION COUNCIL DEBUNKS FAKE TWITTER HANDLE

The attention of the Presidential Transition Council (PTC) has been drawn to a fake Twitter handle, @TransitionNgr (https://twitter.com/TransitionNgr.) created by unscrupulous persons since April, 2020, even before the establishment and inauguration of the Council.

PTC has nothing to do with the fake Twitter account handle, and wishes to state that approval for the establishment of the Presidential Transition Council was given by the President in February this year and was subsequently inaugurated by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation /Chairman of PTC, Boss Mustapha, CFR, thereby exposing their irresponsible and calculated attempt to disseminate inaccurate and tainted information to unsuspecting members of the public.

For the avoidance of doubt, the authentic Twitter account of the Presidential Transition Council is @FGNPTC (FGN PRESIDENTIAL TRANSITION COUNCIL) (https://twitter.com/FGNPTC/).

The public, by this release, should discountenance the fake Twitter account and use the official account handle of PTC for genuine and accurate information on the activities of the transition programme.

PTC further adds that the activities of the Transition Council is on course as all Committee members are working assiduously for the success of the inauguration on 29th May, 2023.

ALERT: Presidential transition council raises the alarm on fake Twitter handle

April 03, 2023. 8:44


Boss Mustapha, secretary to the government of the federation (SGF), has distanced the presidency from a presidential transition council Twitter handle.

On February 9, President Muhammadu Buhari approved the establishment of the transition council to coordinate the activities geared towards ensuring a smooth transition of power from the current administration to the next.

The council is chaired by the SGF while members include the head of the civil service of the federation, solicitor-general of the federation, permanent secretary of the ministry of justice, permanent secretaries from the ministries of defence, interior, finance, foreign affairs, and information, and other government officials.

In a statement on Sunday, Willie Bassey, director of information for the SGF, said a Twitter account was created before the inauguration of the council.

Bassey said the account was a “calculated attempt” to spread fake news. He urged the public to follow the council’s authentic Twitter account for accurate information about the transition programme.

“The attention of the presidential transition council (PTC) has been drawn to a fake Twitter handle, @TransitionNgr(https://twitter.com/TransitionNgr.) created by unscrupulous persons since April 2020, even before the establishment and inauguration of the council,” the statement reads.

“PTC has nothing to do with the fake Twitter account handle, and wishes to state that approval for the establishment of the presidential transition council was given by the president in February this year and was subsequently inaugurated by the secretary to the government of the federation /chairman of PTC, Boss Mustapha, CFR, thereby exposing their irresponsible and calculated attempt to disseminate inaccurate and tainted information to unsuspecting members of the public.

“The public, by this release, should discountenance the fake Twitter account and use the official account handle of PTC for genuine and accurate information on the activities of the transition programme.”

The council added that all committee members are working towards the success of the inauguration on May 29.

Much ado about nothing.

The clowns should pay fee for verification badge and stop issuing ridiculous statements.

It only costs $8/month or $84/year.

Nothing is real anymore! Even our status; giant of Africa is faker than the word fake.

Since Buhari and his demonic APC came into power, everything in Nigeria have turned from Bad to Rotten.
This regime saw the rise and acceptability of vices even among the youths and the old alike. The economic realities forced many into crimes they personally condemned before, even "small girl, big god" lost it's spiritual meaning. We sparogatively never had it this bad.

Now, some people are saying prayers can make the thieving INEC-SELECT do good for Nigeria, therefore, we should accept the selection. Such stupidity!
Even God would lock his heavens and seize the small blessings he pours on Nigeria if we encourage this folly and accept this criminality.

It seems you're new to this verification thing. Have you not seen parody and fake accounts being verified after payment?

grin Exactly, their sadness is driving them really crazy.

Truth be told, to Tarnish Bishop Oyedepo image when they saw that they have lost the Election is their primary aim for the snitching and betrayal; releasing the private Audio conversation, yet refusing to Name a culprit because it's their joints plan. The speed with which Okonkwo confirmed it yesterday shows it is their well-planned work of Obi, Okonkwo, etc. which has now backfired on them already.

Obi people really frantically tried to pushed the Greatest African Pastors (Yorubas) to Support Obi, but they wisely and tactically kept mute. They soon swooped their Rabid Internet senselessness against our Great Baba Adeboye calling him unprintable Names, which clearly shows that LP People knows that the Silence of these Great Men of GOD means. When they formerly Supported Jonathan only to be Brutally Stabbed at the Back by Igbos that pocketed Jonathan and use the Federal Power to Witchunt the Men of GOD just because they were not Igbos. Remember that they started a Massive Campaign of Calumny and Character Assassination against what they then Termed "Yoruba Churches" just because non of their Churches that they started became Internationally Great like these. They invoked a Federal Law to disgraced Baba Adeboye and to Force him to Resign from being G.O. of Redeemed Church, etc. They also say the Internationally Great "Yoruba" Churches make too much Money, that they must be forced to start Paying Tithes, etc. No Fulani Muslim Government ever did such, but Igbos Christian Government out of their Cancerous Hatred which eats them up whenever they See Yorubas on these International Thrones which them Igbos could only dream to have but can't. That is why they are trying Wickedness against these exceptionally Great Internationally Churches.

Just because non of their Churches could become Internationally Great as the ones founded by Yorubas which even has so many White People in Western World as Members, etc.

How they expected these Great Yoruba Men to forget that they once took them as fellow Christian bothers and Massively Voted Jonathan into Power only for the Igbo-Controlled Government to then disgrace Christian Obasanjo out of PDP BoT Chairmanship, Brutally Stabbed the Yorùbá General Overseers that massively used their Pulpits to Campaign that their Massive Members must Vote Jonathan in for the first Tenure, when they never knew they were bitterly Envied by these same sets who would do anything to scatter their Churches...

That he soon Camouflaged as their Christian brother again using Deceptive Manipulative "Yes Daddy, Yes Daddy" strategy is funny. I believe Bishop Oyedepo had to show that small Support to calm them down after Obi and his followers started grumbling that his Silence means Support for Tinubu his Yoruba Brother. Of cause, Yoruba Tinubu will never Witchunt the Internationally Celebrated Great Church Leaders that have attracted so much Forex from Abroad to Nigerian Economy and has really helped to minimize Crime Rate Growth in Nigeria(if you need more Details on this, I will supply). Unlike Obi's people did to the Internationally Treasured Great Yoruba G.O.s when their Azikwe Jonathan was in Power.
