The presidency has described reports that former Speaker Umar Ghali Na’Abba has been invited by the Department of State Service over his alleged comments on President Muhammadu Buhari as “a publicity stunt.”
Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Malam Garba Shehu, who stated this in a statement in Abuja on Sunday, said Na’abba’s alleged comments did not catch the attention of the Presidency as they were not important.
He implied that Na’abba was not a serious politician, hence the Presidency does not pay attention to him.
Shehu urged the general public to ignore the claim that Na’abba’s invitation by the DSS was in anyway connected to the Presidency.

The statement said: ”Our findings have revealed that Na’Abba’s invitation has nothing to do with his alleged utterances which, in any case, did not catch the attention of the Presidency, or of any serious politician for that matter.
”There are serious politicians who talk and the Presidency responds because such politicians make statements that must get attention.
”Flash-in-the-pan politicians and those who fabricate political relevance don’t bother anyone.
”We advise Na’Abba to distance the presidency from the situation he has found himself and sort himself out accordingly.”
