Abuja (Nigeria) – Nigeria’s Information Minister Patricia Akwashiki has faulted a news report by a local Newspaper, Daily Trust of Tuesday, May 19, 2015, where the paper quoted her saying President Goodluck Jonathan will dissolve his cabinet on Wednesday, 20th May, 2015.
A statement by her Press Secretary, Joseph Mutah, says the Minister had at no time addressed journalists on the dissolution of the Federal Executive Council by President Jonathan.
It says, Akwashiki was surprised that the news report, which initially quoted an unnamed Minister from the South West, ended up attributing the comments to her.
The Information Minister therefore urges the general public to disregard the tendentious report as false and malicious, which only exists in the warped imagination of its authors.
