The Presidency on Wednesday denied claims that wanted ex-chairman of the Presidential Pension Reform Task Force, Abdulrasheed Maina was invited back home by President Muhammadu Buhari.

Why it matters:

While defending their son, Maina’s family had said the fugitive was invited by the present government.

The Presidency’s rebuttal:

Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu in a statement said the claims are false.

“The claim that the Buhari administration invited the wanted Abdulrasheed Maina back into the country is a freshly minted falsehood. Nobody should believe that.

“The family that made that claim simply wanted to be ridiculous. Please ignore them.”
