Buhari denies anti-Igbo sentiments in BBC interview
Muhammadu Buhari (1983-85, 2015 - 2023), Presidency Friday, July 17th, 2015PRESIDENT Muhammadu Buhari has denied expressing anti-Igbo sentiments in a recent interview with the BBC Hausa Service as claimed by a pirate radio station, describing it as “completely false, malicious and slanderous.”
A statement by Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, said the voice being ascribed to Buhari in the recording repeatedly played by the pirate radio station was definitely not the president’s and the claim that the station got the recording from a BBC interview was untrue.
“No one should be deceived by the pirate radio station’s hate propaganda against the president. President Buhari has not had any interview with the BBC’s Hausa Service since his assumption of office as alleged by the agents of disunity behind the pirate radio station’s inflammatory and divisive broadcasts.
“The last interview he had with the BBC Hausa Service, lasting not more than five minutes, was on the day he was declared winner and given his certificate of return as president-elect by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
