A statement going viral alleges that the man in the video wanted to stab the president today at Birnin Kebbi.

But in the statement below the presidency denied the allegation and stated the young man only wanted to take photographs with Muhammadu Buhari.

But according to reports, “one of the many millions of aggrieved person’s in Nigeria today at ARGUNGU almost penetrated President Buhari’s tight security attempting angrily to attack the President. He came very close to Buhari until he was stopped and was disarmed. His host, Gov Bagudu has deceived the President with thousands of bags of Rice that were supposedly harvested in Kebbi.”

PRESS HOUSE PRESS STATEMENT

ALLEGED ATTACK ON PRESIDENT BUHARI IN KEBBI: CONTORTIONISTS AT WORK AGAIN

President Muhammadu Buhari was in Kebbi State Thursday to declare open the Argungu Fishing and Cultural Festival. It was the first time the international tourism event would hold in eleven years, as security considerations had rendered it impracticable.
As the President went round the arena to inspect rice pyramids on display, and take photographs with farmers, a young man was so very excited to see his President so close. He made an attempt to get to him.
World over, such would not be allowed by security details. The young man was prevented, and he protested that he should be allowed to greet his President. Now, professional contortionists are making mischief of the event. They are passing the video clip off on social media as an attempt to attack the President.
Malicious people always twist things to give a negative narrative. But they simply dash their heads against the wall. The country moves on.
