“The decision to pick Gbajabiamila was said to have been made by the president after evaluating all possible candidates aspiring for the post among his loyalists,” he allegedly wrote.
However, the speaker’s aide disowned the purported announcement in a statement on his Facebook page.
He described the reports as fake news, saying nothing like the statement credited to him was posted on his Facebook account.
“Fake news is a monster 👹 that must be curbed. Kindly ignore any fake news quoting this account for posting about any political appointment. Nothing of such was ever posted here,” Wasiu wrote.
