Minister of Information, Lai Mohammed has refuted reports quoting him as saying that President Muhammadu Buhari won’t return home because his aircraft was faulty.
A statement published on a twitter handle supposedly belonging to the minister had said that Buhari would not be returning to the country anytime soon because the presidential aircraft was undergoing maintenance.

But Mohammed, in a statement issued by his media aide, Segun Adeyemi on Sunday, insisted that he did not speak with anyone on Buhari’s movement
His statement read, “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”.
