The Minister of Information, Lai Mohammed, stated that Federal Government was 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 dropped this hint while briefing the State House Correspondents after this week’s Federal Executive Council meeting chaired by the President at the Aso Rock Villa, Abuja on Wednesday.
He also said that President Muhammadu Buhari was neither favouring nor dis-favouring any presidential candidate ahead of the February 25 election.
“If there’s anybody who is working against any candidate, we don’t know officially,” the Minister said.
Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, had earlier alleged that some “elements” in Aso Rock are working against Tinubu’s emergence as President.
Speaking on Channels Television breakfast programme, Sunrise Daily, El-Rufai explained that the persons in question were aggrieved that Tinubu defeated their candidate in the June 2022 APC presidential primaries.
He cited the naira redesign policy as one of several schemes targeted at the APC Presidential candidate.
