Propaganda gone wrong! Lai denies saying president Buhari will release ministerial list in a few days

When a propaganda goes real wrong!

The National Publicity Secretary All Progressives Congress (APC), Alhaji Lai Mohammed had refuted report in some section of the media that he said President Muhammadu Buhari will release his ministerial list 'in a few days'.

He said the report was  a distortion of what he told journalists on  Thursday at Oro, Kwara State, during the 9th  Ramadan Lecture he sponsored.

According to him, “What I said was that the delay in the release of the ministerial list was caused by the unprecedented transition of power from the ruling party to the opposition and the fact that the handover note was not given to the Transition Committee set up by the incoming government until four days to the presidential inauguration.

“I then thanked Nigerians for their patience and said the President will release the ministerial list 'soon'.. There is clearly a difference between 'in a few days' and 'soon'.”

He pointed out that apart from the headline, which has since been corrected by the paper that reported the story, nowhere in the body of the story in question was a direct quote attributed to him as saying the President will release the Ministerial list 'in a few days'.
