Former presidential spokesman, Garba Shehu, has clarified the circumstances surrounding his transition from working with former Vice President Atiku Abubakar to serving as Senior Special Assistant on Media to ex-President Muhammadu Buhari.Speaking in Abuja on Tuesday during a media briefing to announce his forthcoming memoir, titled ‘According to the President: Lessons from a Presidential Spokesperson’s Experience’, Shehu said his move was neither a betrayal nor an act of disloyalty.
Addressing questions about his political switch, Shehu explained that following Buhari’s victory at the All Progressives Congress presidential primary in 2014, all other aspirants—including Atiku—contributed their campaign structures and personnel to support Buhari’s general election bid.According to Shehu, this collective gesture was part of party unity efforts ahead of the 2015 general election.
