On his part, Garba Shehu has earlier dissociated himself from the claim and went further to threaten lawsuit.

It is a general saying that to every rumour, there is always an iota of truth.... Time will surely reveal the truth very soon. But blowing false alarm should be discouraged, so as to not to heat up the polity unnecessary.

Better Nigeria is possible.
