Former President Muhammadu Buhari
Former President Muhammadu Buhari has lashed out at BusinessDay newspaper over a report that he fled the country after the end of his tenure on May 29, 2023.
Buhari said the national newspaper should sack its reporter for saying he was on “exile” while he was in his hometown, Daura, in Katsina State.
The former president, who recently returned from London, the United Kingdom after a private visit, said this in a statement issued on Sunday, July 9, 2023, by his former spokesman, Garba Shehu.
He stated: “For misleading the otherwise credible newspaper to falsely report on their front page that former President Muhammadu Buhari has ‘fled’ and on ‘exile’ when he is currently at home with family in Daura, Katsina State, BusinessDay newspaper should sack their reporter who didn’t do the job of checking his facts.

“BusinessDay should think 10 times before running any information from the particular reporter and verify it before believing him. Every platform has tools to verify any information and we don’t expect anything less from BusinessDay.
“If they had browsed through different sources, they will have seen reports of the former President having come back home and enjoying the company of his family.
“A single fake news in a newspaper has the capability to destroy a reputation built on years of hard work.”
