Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster and Management, Sadiya Umar Farouq, has described the rumour about her marriage to President Muhammadu Buhari as an utter distraction aimed at railroading the government from focusing on how to transform Nigeria to a country of our dream.
The Minister also denied ever commenting on rumours of her getting married to President Buhari.either on the social media or any other source when she tweeted on Friday that the tweeter handle that carried her supposed reaction was a parody account..
Reacting, via her genuine handle (@Sadiya_farouq) the minister issued a disclaimer: “Dear Nigerians, please Kindly ignore all rumors as this is not true. We’re currently completely focused on making sure we have a better Nigeria. Let’s continue to pray for our dear country Nigeria. God Bless.””.
The parody tweeter account had gone viral saying that Ms Farouq actually confirmed the wedding with this statement credited to her: “I will like to clarify this, that me and Baba Buhari have been old-time friends and Her Excellency Aisha is my good friend and a sister. I will like to maintain this good relationship.”
The minister appealed to Nigerian: “I wish to inform my followers and well-meaning Nigerians to disregard the handle and any information posted on it. My official Twitter handle remains @Sadiya_farouq”
