Senior Special Assistant to president Muhammadu Buhari on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu in a series of tweets on Wednesday cleared further misconception about car gifts or pension received by president Buhari.
Mr. Garba Shehu noted that the President has never received pension from the army or car and that was completely forgotten after he was overthrown.
1. The President has never received pension from the army or car as had gone to former Commanders-in-Chief. #BuhariPension

2. After his overthrow, they didn’t remember him even  in the annual distribution of diaries or calendars. #BuhariPension

3. If anyone is laying his/her hand on any such payment, they should face criminal investigation. #BuhariPension

7. The army is known to supply cars to former heads of the army. President Buhari never got any of that. #BuhariPension

8. On the other hand, there is a directorate in the SGF’s office paying allowances to all ex-Heads of State. This is not pension.

9. President Buhari stopped collecting this from last year.

10. The cars he got came from the former President through the ONSA. This was after the bomb attack on his convoy in Kaduna.

11. Before this time, the presidency did not supply cars to him as they did the formers Heads of State.
Please be guided. Thank you.
