“Kachikwu may have been removed from the post to pave way for him to face the state duties, especially in the wake of the unending fuel crisis in the country”.
But in a reaction, the Group General Manager, Group Public Affairs, Garba Deen Muhammad, said no change has been made.
“Not true. Just baseless rumour. People should be careful what they pick up from junk social media platforms,” he said.
