adsThe Presidency, on Thursday, debunked claims that President Bola Tinubu was planning to rename Nigeria and also abolish Sharia law in the Northern part of the country
Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, in a statement, said there is no truth to the viral fake story claiming that the President seeks to carry out constitutional amendments that will change Nigeria’s name to the United States of Nigeria and abolish Sharia Law in the Northern region, among other claims.
Presidency noted that the story, which cited anonymous sources, is part of the dubious plot by some desperate politicians to create disaffection in our country, stir up a political crisis, and heat the polity ahead of the general elections.
Presidency therefore, urged Nigerians to ignore the viral story in its entirety because the purveyors of the fake news are agents of destabilisation and merchants of disorder.
