Presidency Denies Bribery Allegations Against Chief Of Staff, Abba Kyari.
A statement issued Saturday by Presidential Spokesman Garba Shehu says the Chief of Staff did not have any private meetings with those making the allegation.
Shehu who dismissed the publication as untrue, notes that with Elections around the corner, some Politicians and their media agents appear to be working together to build pressure on the Buhari Administration by wielding non-existent scandals against it.
According to him, the supply of 15 Hilux vehicles for the Presidency was an unlikely contract to have been awarded, as it did not exist anywhere in the 2016 and 2017 budgets.
Shehu further states that it is difficult to make a case of N29 million bribery against an official who spurned a monthly payment of N200 million to his office, money for which he didn’t need to account to anyone.
