Kankara Schoolboys: Presidential spokesman, Garba Shehu apologizes for wrong numerical information
Presidential spokesman, Garba Shehu has apologized for giving a wrong information on the number of students that were abducted in Kankara, Katsina state.
Shehu had told the BBC that only ten of them had been kidnapped, even as state government sources put the figure at 333.
In a tweet he shard after the schoolboys were released on Thursday night, he stated that the communication was in no way done to downplay the seriousness of the situation.
He wrote;
“I apologize for the incorrect communication citing that only 10 students were kidnapped at the science school, Kankara.
“This communication of numbers was provided by persons that should ideally know. These numbers were seen to conflict with what was available at that time.
“Please understand that this communication was in no way done to downplay the seriousness of the situation.
“Please accept my sincere apologies on this matter as we continue to move our great Nation Nigeria forward. Thank you.”
That’s the you people use to, sometimes they intentionally telling lies about the situation that happens in the country. Just apologize to yourself.
Apology kill una for there
I even thank God that you people admitted that the students were kidnapped, than telling the masses that nobody was kidnapped.
I just thank God Almighty that the children are back to their parents alive we are no longer interested in all these things you people are doing.
Telling lies it’s not a new thing to this administration, there are many lies that you have said then what else do you want to say that will surprise Nigerians.
Imagine that he is now amending his mistakes…. Idiot of the highest order….
The person who has the first information said it’s 333, you dare open your mouth and said it’s only ten students, shame on you people. I’m not surprised you are the one misleading the president buhari.
Is it today you have been saying rubbish? People won’t take you serious anymore in whatever you say. You always toy with the lives of Nigerians which is so pathetic.
When a man talks senselessly, this is Always the end point apology
I really laugh at you man
This is how you people lie on almost all serious matters concerning the running of affairs of this nation
If not that you have been caught red handed on this one, you would have continued to insist on that fake number you have given
Exactly the rubbish you people are saying concerning the Lekki shooting
