The Federal Government has come out to say that it is not officially aware of any entity in the Presidential Villa working against the victory of the All Progressives Congress’ flag bearer, Bola Tinubu.

The Minister of Information, Lai Mohammed recently revealed this to the press, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, President Muhammadu Buhari will neither favor or disfavour any presidential candidate ahead of the February 25 election, so the rumours can stop.

He added that the current administration is focused and determined to ensure a free and fair election.

His words, “If there’s anybody who is working against any candidate, we don’t know officially.”

“On a more serious note, one thing I can assure you is that, no matter who, this administration is focused and determined to ensure a free and fair election. And I think this administration, and for that matter now, the most important person in this regard is Mr. President.”

“I think he has shown by words and deed that he is committed to a free, fair and credible election. And fair, free and credible elections mean not favouring or disfavouring anybody.”

“Everywhere he goes, he makes that very clear, even as recently as Friday, when he was in Daura. He said the same thing. So if there’s anybody who’s working against any candidate, we don’t know officially.”
