Faulty aircraft report: I didn’t speak on Buhari’s return – Lai Mohammed

 
By Olusola Fabiyi, Abuja
The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, has denied speaking on the return of President Muhammadu Buhari.
The President is being expected in the country today and is also expected to resume work on Monday after a 10-day holiday in the United Kingdom.
Apart from the holiday, the President said he was also going to use the opportunity to attend to his health.
However, neither his handlers nor the Presidency has spoken on when he would return.
While the nation awaits his return, Mohammed said in a statement on Sunday, that the reports attributed to him claiming that the President won’t return because of faulty aircraft, was false.
The minister, in a statement by his aide, Mr. Segun Adeyemi, said he did not speak with anyone.
The statement said, “Our attention has been drawn to a report quoting the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, as saying the President’s return to Nigeria may be hampered by a faulty aircraft.
“The minister has not spoken to anyone on the issue of the President’s
return, hence this report is another from the stable of the purveyors of fake news and should be disregarded.”

Abba Kyari, President Buhari and Adesina The respondents in interviews in Abuja on Wednesday expressed optimism that the president was `hale and hearty’ in spite of the rumours. Dr Edet Imuk, a soil scientist with University of Calabar, said, `what binds Nigerians together actually precedes the whims of ethnic, socio-cultural or political divide.’ “Nigerians need to realise that the Office of the President is not a product of mere political will. “The occupant of such office has paid dearly mentally and spiritually, which oftentimes costs him sleepless nights.’’ He said the president’s well-being should be of concern to all Nigerians. Dr Bello Babaumma of Nasarawa State University, said that Buhari’s anti-graft crusade had singled him out as a fearless leader. He said that the president is justified in taking time out for vacation and to take care of his health, considering that physical fitness was necessary for him to discharge his duties effectively. “Buhari is a fearless leader

Obasanjo Former Nigeria’s President has called on African countries to explore trading opportunities within the continent as part of efforts to boost their economies.

The delegation, led by the Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Dr. Okechukwu Enalamah, included the Minister of State for Industry, Trade and Investment, Aisha Abubakar, and members of some committees of the National Assembly. The delegation was in Abeokuta for the eighth edition of the council’s meeting, with the theme: “Diversification of the Nigerian Economy: From Over Dependence on Oil Exports.” The former president expressed concern that the share of intra-African trade in Africa’s total trade over the past decade was only about 12 per cent compared to 65 per cent of Asia. Obasanjo called for removal of all barriers against intra- African trade and the establishment of commodity exchange for agricultural goods produced in the region. He also called for the establishment of coastal shipping system to ease trading within the region. Obasanjo expressed optimism that an enhanced coastal shipping system would increase the share of intra-African trade in the region’s total trade
