The Presidency has debunked allegation by an online medium that Zahra, daughter of President Muhammadu Buhari, has secured employment with the Petroleum Products Pricing Regulatory Agency (PPPRA).
Presidential spokesman, Femi Adesina, said in a statement on Wednesday that though Zahra Buhari, like any other Nigerian, can work wherever she is given employment, the story that she has secured a job with PPPRA was false.
Mr. Adesina’s statement reads: “An online medium given particularly to fake news publishes that Zahra, daughter of President Muhammadu Buhari, has fraudulently secured a job with the Petroleum Products Pricing Regulatory Agency (PPPRA).
“While Zahra, just like any other Nigerian, can work wherever she secures employment, we hasten to add that the story is false in every material particular.
“The publication is untrue, malicious, and meant to cast aspersions at the First Family since the tendentious platform claims the job was secured fraudulently.
“All people of goodwill are enjoined to ignore the hack piece, masquerading as a news story.”
