Atiku’s aide” Phrank Shaibu” faults BBC report on Tinubu’s certificate saga
A special Assistant to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar on Public Communications, Phrank Shaibu, has faulted the BBC’s latest report on president Bola Tinubu’s certificate saga, alleging a compromise of ethical conduct by the international broadcast organization.
This was as the BBC, in it’s recent fact-check report, posited that former Vice President Atiku and allies, do not posses any evidence to show that President Bola Tinubu’s Chicago State University certificate was forged.
Shaibu in a statement Wednesday, described the report as a hatchet job, adding that the outrage it had solicited from the generality of Nigerians was enough evidence to show that the BBC goofed.
Shaibu said he was not surprised by the BBC’s report stating that it was in line with a previous statement he had issued wherein he had revealed that the Tinubu administration was set to unleash its entire propaganda programme.
He said, “Sometime last week, when the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) issued a final warning to Arise News TV, we pointed out that the Tinubu administration was on the verge of launching a full-blown propaganda and also intimidating ‘uncooperative’ media houses into discrediting and downplaying the CSU scandal. Sadly, we never imagined that it would be the BBC that would become the willing tool.
