Buhari's media team has made a move to correct the popular impression that the Nigerian leader avoids reading.
President Muhammadu Buhari reading a newspaper
President Muhammadu Buhari's media team have released a photo of him "reading" a newspaper.
The minister of transportation under Buhari, Rotimi Amaechi purportedly said in an audio leak at the weekend that Buhari doesn't read nor listen to anybody.
"The president does not listen to anybody. He doesn’t care. You can write what you want to write. Does he read?," Amaechi purportedly said in the tape.
"I was flying with him in the aircraft and we saw a news report where a goat seller was complaining that he couldn’t sell his goats during Sallah because of Buhari’s administration. And the president said what my business with goat sellers is?”
Since the tapes were leaked to public domain, the minister has neither denied nor admitted he indeed made those statements.
