Fake news spread online says the Nigerian President switched his Chief of Staff. The presidency had to publicly deny these rumors, stating that Femi Gbajabiamila remains in the Chief of Staff role and was not replaced by Hakeem Muri-Okunola, who is the Principal Private Secretary. The President's adviser, Bayo Onanuga, released an official statement calling the viral social media posts a complete fabrication. He accused the sources of spreading falsehoods to create internal government conflict.
The statement emphasized that both Gbajabiamila and Muri-Okunola are still in their current positions. Onanuga also used the opportunity to criticize the spread of misinformation, urging media outlets and the public to properly verify stories before sharing them online. The government dismissed the original reports as baseless rumors from unverified insider sources.
