The Presidency on Friday alerted Nigerians on what it called a fake Facebook account created in the name of President Muhammadu Buhari ’ s daughter , Zahra .
The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity , Mr . Femi Adesina, in a statement said those he described as “merchants of mischief ” we’ re responsible for the development.
By creating the fake account, Adesina said those behind it only took their antics against the first family further .
The presidential spokesman said those behind it sought to attract odium to the first family, adding that they do not mean well for the country .
The statement read, “The fake account, conspicuously different from the authentic one , was used to post a message on April 17 , 2018, at 9 . 07 a . m.
“A picture of President Buhari , with snowflakes all over him , and being welcomed to a foreign country was used, alongside this message , ‘ Children of God, here is a 75 years old man walking in the snow without cardigan just to rescue the battered economic status of Nigeria and some of you senseless people feel he travels too much , as if he travels for partying or merry making .
God bless Nigeria . Please share …’
“The Presidency hereby repudiates the Facebook account, as it does not belong to Zahra .
“Members of the public are urged to be wary, and see through the intentions of those behind the fakery .
“They seek to attract odium to the first family, and also do not mean well for our country . ”
