- Eze Chukwuemeka Eze describes those peddling the story of a fake Buhari governing Nigeria as the height of ungodliness
- Eze, a chieftain of the APC, says the fake news strategy was initiated by those who looted Nigeria before the emergence of Buhari in 2019
- He says the initiators are taking advantage of gullible Nigerians to propagate the fake information
A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, has described those carrying the story of a ‘fake Muhammadu Buhari’ leading Nigeria as gullible mischief makers being urged by those who want the president dead.
In a statement sent to Legit.ng, Eze also revealed that this narrative had been part of the strategies initiated by some people who have plundered the nation's wealth without conscience before President Buhari emerged in 2015.
Eze said the authors of the narrative had hoped that the president would not return alive from his prolonged sick leave abroad. He said they were, however, shocked to see him back healthier and pushing the anti-corruption campaign more vigorously.

Eze said these unnamed people then decided on a ‘plan B’ which was to take advantage of the gullible and hateful, selling them a story that has become the subject of jokes across the world.
“These misguided fellows, who are products of the dismantled looting system that looted our common patrimony with impunity, would have loved to see President Buhari dead so that the efforts to recover their looted lot will be impossible, but unfortunately for them through the prayers of some innocent children of God that include the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby and Pastor Adeboye of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, who visited him in London, and other religions leaders he survived to their uttermost shame and chagrin,” Eze said.
Eze called those peddling the fake information against the president as mischievous, unpatriotic, evil, demonic and unacceptable.
He queried: "How could a foreigner, as claimed by these mischief makers, come in to act as the president of Nigeria without either the wife of the president or his children raising alarm over such an unislamic and unholy act?
“How could he have known both the president's home in Kastina, recognize all the political actors in Nigeria, including his ministers and governors.

“Proponents of this satanic game should understand that Nigerians are aware, wise people and not fools who will accept such a dubious and diversionary strategy,” he said.
Legit.ng earlier reported that President Muhammadu Buhari promised that his administration would continue to implement policies that would attract investment and result in competitions for employment creation and economic growth.
