Former Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Yusuf Tuggar, has firmly denied reports suggesting that he criticized President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, insisting that his recent comments were misrepresented and taken out of context amid growing political tensions within the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Bauchi State.
In a statement issued on Sunday, the minister moved to quell speculation of a rift with the president, declaring his unwavering loyalty to Tinubu and reaffirming his commitment to the administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
The clarification follows widespread reactions to a Hausa-language interview in which Tuggar discussed internal political developments in Bauchi State.
