A spokesman for President Muhammadu Buhari, Mallam Garba Shehu, has denied allegations levelled against him by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) that he bought $800,000 from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN). He said he received only $8,000 from CBN.
PDP had alleged that Shehu bought $800,000 at the official rate of N197 under the pretext of importing goods but then sold it the next day to a bureau de change at a price of over N300.
However, Garba said, “It is a lie by PDP to say I bought $800,000 from the CBN. I had only two forex purchases since coming into government: Eight thousand Dollars ($8,000) sent to my daughter and nephews through United Bank for Africa. This is verifiable.
