The Presidency on Wednesday disclosed that those who work around President Muhammadu Buhari are routinely tested for COVID-19.
This, it said, was based on the directive of doctors and scientists.
The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, disclosed this in a statement titled, ‘Ignore scaremongers -Presidency’.
Shehu was reacting to a report by an unnamed online news medium which he said reported that Buhari’s Senior Special Assistant, Social Affairs and Domestic Matters, Sarki Abba, tested positive for the virus.

The presidential aide said contrary to the report, Abba has always been testing negative for the virus during the routine tests.
The statement partly read, “The Presidency wishes to advise Nigerians to ignore determined agents of fake news bent on spreading false stories to the public.
“We react to the utter falsehood and disgraceful lies, a report by so-called digital newspaper which, Wednesday, claimed that President Muhammadu Buhari’s aide, Sarki Abba is COVID-19 positive.
“This report is sheer fabrication and brazen effort by the online news medium to mislead the public.
“Upon the directive of doctors and scientists and supervision of Prof. Ibrahim Gambari, the Chief of Staff, all staff working for and around the President, are routinely and rigorously checked for the virus. The Senior Special Assistant, Social Affairs and Domestic Matters, Sarki Abba, always tested negative.
“The general public is hereby advised to ignore such stories that are intended to mislead the people and create unnecessary anxiety about the safety of the President.”

Sam Amadi, a former Chairman of the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) has advised security operatives to safeguard their lives.
He said this in reaction to an accident that involved the convoy of a former All Progressives Congress (APC) National Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole.
Two police officers died in the crash.
An articulated vehicle lost control and rammed into the motorcade convoy near Oluku junction in Ovia North-East Local Government Area.
Oshiomhole was en route to Usen to join the APC campaign train.

Victor Oshoke, spokesman to the ex-Edo Governor, called it an assassination attempt.
In his reaction, Amadi said recklessness caused the loss of lives.
He advised security agents to always use seat belt to avoid fatal consequences.
Amadi wrote on his Facebook page: “Every time VIPs have road accidents, police officers die. This is because they don’t put seat-belts on so as to jump out quick to clear the road for jaga-jaga.
“This is costly behavior. Police officers and security details attached to so-called VIPs should save their lives. They should put their seat-belts on while on road trips.”
