Director of Media and Publicity of President Muhammadu Buhari 2019 Presidential Campaign Committee, Engr Kailani Muhammad, was completely an act of wickedness and blackmail.
In a statement on Monday by the Senate Spokesman, Senator Ajibola Basiru, stated that, palliatives implied for circulation to Nigerians by officials in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic were never in authority of administrators.
He demanded that the claims were either evil lies or conscious deception with respect to Engr Kailani to acquire administrators struggle with their constituents.
"Lawmakers never received any COVID-19 palliatives from Mr President or the Federal Government, at all, for onward distribution to their constituents.
“Rather at the Senate, we donated half of members’ salaries for the purpose of cushioning the effect of COVID 19.
”We legislators equally played our part by purchasing and distributing palliatives to people at our different constituencies. So it is quite unfortunate for Kilani Mohammed or anyone to castigate us in the public and saying what is not true”, he said.
Dr Ajibola Basiru, nonetheless, advised against “deliberate falsehood to paint Federal Lawmakers in bad light for whatever motive.", he said.
