Release<\/strong>
\nFrom Segun Adeyemi,<\/strong> SA To Hon Minister of Information and Culture, Ilorin, Kwara State
\nThe Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, has described as ‘absolute fake news’ the reports in the Social Media that the abducted Dapchi school girl, Leah Sharibu, has died in captivity.
\n\u201cIt\u2019s absolutely fake news. There is nothing like that,\u201d the Minister said at a press briefing in Ilorin, Kwara State, on Sunday
\nHe said the rumour of Miss Sharibu\u2019s death, which surfaced just a few days to the presidential election, is another ploy by the political opposition to tarnish the image of the administration and exploit primordial sentiments ahead of the polls.
\n\u201cI think it\u2019s part of the opposition\u2019s strategies to throw everything at the administration and at the President. I think everyday they are realizing the hopelessness of their position.
\n\u201cEveryday they are amazed by the support Mr. President is receiving from every part of the country and they have decided that they are going to spread falsehood, inflame passion and make this election a Muslim-Christian affair or North-South affair, but people are not listening to them,\u201d Alhaji Mohammed said.
\nSpeaking on the Monday\u2019s presidential campaign rally in Ilorin, he said the All Progressives Congress (APC) has put everything in place to ensure that the visit of President Buhari is a huge success.
\n\u201cThe party has been meeting in the last couple of days to ensure that the President\u2019s visit is very successful. We have watched the rallies in many parts of the country and we want to assure Mr. President that our rally in terms of numbers, quality of people, entertainment and colour will rank among the best,\u201d the Minister said.
\nHe said the crowd that will come out to receive the President will be organic as the party does not engage in renting crowds.
\nAlhaji Mohammed appealed to security agencies to create a level playing field for all the contestants in the election to allow the people to freely exercise their franchise, saying those involved in legitimate activities have nothing to fear.
\nHe also described the protest in some circles over the redeployment of Police Commissioners across the country as the handiwork of the opposition, which is working to discredit the police and the Independent National Electoral Commission.
