Daniel Bwala, the spokesperson for the Atiku-Okowa Presidential Campaign Council, has requested that President Muhammadu Buhari release his phone conversation with the President-elect on Friday morning.
WITHIN NIGERIA reported that the President said he is ready to welcome Tinubu to the State House, Abuja, by May 29 when he would have completed an eight-year spell in government.
President Buhari said this in a phone call to mark the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, according to the presidential spokesman, Garba Shehu.
Shehu had said:
Both leaders thanked God Almighty for seeing this day and prayed for the stability and the wellbeing of the nation.
President Buhari expressed his readiness to welcome Asiwaju Tinubu to the State House as President on May 29th.
However, in a tweet sent from his official Twitter account on Saturday, Bwala requested that President Buhari release the audio of his conversation with Tinubu as proof that both leaders actually spoke.
He stated that the Nigerian constitution does not allow Buhari to welcome Tinubu to the state house because the motorcade would take Buhari to the airport after the swearing-in at Eagle Square, whereas he will now resume at his new residence.
He said:
Release the audio conversation as proof. Anyway, our constitution does not envision you welcoming him to the state house because, after the swearing-in at Eagle Square, the motorcade would take you to the airport, whilst he will now resume at his new house.
