Former
Commonwealth Secretary, Chief Emeka Anyaoku, yesterday debunked the online
report published by Sahara Reporters, which alleged that he visited President
Muhammadu Buhari on behalf of former President Goodluck Jonathan to halt the
ongoing probe of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) government under the former
president.
Describing the
report as ‘utterly baseless and despicable,” Anyaoku said it was unimaginable
that people could sit down and fabricate a story without a foundation. “It is
utterly baseless and despicable because there is no truth in it; not at all,”
he said.
“My attention has
just been drawn to SAHARA REPORTERS’ utterly baseless and despicable story of
my meeting yesterday with President Buhari.
The truth is that
my meeting with the President lasted only 25 minutes and never, repeat never,
was former President Jonathan mentioned in our discussions,” the former
Commonwealth scribe said in a statement yesterday.
