The Nigerian Presidency has reacted to a report that Sarki Abba, the Senior Special Assistant on Domestic Affairs to President Muhammadu Buhari, contracted Coronavirus.
It was widely reported that the President aide tested positive to the virus a few weeks ago, but Presidential aide, Bashir Ahmad has cleared the air on the report.
In a tweet on his Twitter page on Tuesday, Ahmad denied the report, describing the news as false and misleading. The Presidential aide added that Sarki Abba is currently in his office at the State House.
He tweeted: “I might have fallen and believed this story if I wasn’t in the Sarki Abba’s office when a friend sent me this tweet from @SaharaReporters. The news is not true, Sarki Abba is currently in his office, at the State House.”
