An aide to President Muhammad Buhari social media, Bashir Ahmad, has denied a report that he was secretly appointed to head a lucrative arm at the Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) by Buhari, despite still holding his position at the presidency.

Ahmad, in response, said he does not even know where DPR office is.

He described the report as 100 per cent false.

“Calm down brother Gbenga, the story is 100% NOT true. To tell you the truth, I don’t even know where DPR office is, the only thing I know it is in Lagos. That’s all,” he said in a tweet.

A newspaper, Peoples Gazette, had reported that Ahmad was secretly appointed to head a department in DPR by Buhari.

According to the report, Ahmad’s appointment was done in January but finalized this February.

Peoples Gazette cited presidency sources and said that Ahmad still retains his position in the presidency and would draw dual-salary.
