“My attention has been drawn to the announcement in This Day newspaper of
26/9/22 that I would be a Special Guest of Honour at Atiku Abubakar’s book
presentation scheduled for 28th September at Chida Hotels Events Centre in Abuja.
“Given the understandable propensity to read political meanings in public associations at this time of competition by political parties in the context of 2023 national elections, | wish to unequivocally state that no body sought and
obtained my agreement to be present at this particular book presentation.
“I have accepted the unreserved apologies rendered to me by the organizers of
the event, and wish to reiterate that I remain non-partisan in praying ‘that my country Nigeria will in 2023 elect people of proven competence and character whose sole mission will be to serve the national interests.
