The presidency has reacted to the circulation of a letter purportedly addressed to President Muhammadu Buhari on the return of the Senator representing Kaduna Central, Shehu Sani, by the state governor, Nasir El-Rufai.
The senior special assistant to the president on media and publicity, Garba Shehu, said the president is not in receipt of any of such letter.
Shehu in a series of tweet on Sunday, October 7, said the president wishes to distance itself from the letter in circulation.

Shehu added at no time did President Buhari as claimed in the letter authorised anyone, not even a governor to "deal with traitors and disloyal members of APC, especially Senator Shehu Sani."
We wish to confirm that the President is not aware of any such letter, let alone authorising anyone to deal with any party member.
Given President Buhari’s record, it is inconceivable that he would usurp the role of the party leaders and instruct anyone to punish a party member," Shehu said.
He further urged the general public to to ignore false or unauthorized information intended to attribute to the President to any action which is not in line with his character.

The governor in the letter dated October 2, reportedly said President Buhari directed him to initiate the recall of Sani, senator representing Kaduna central district, over acts of contempt and disloyalty.
He also said Sani through his reckless actions made the Senate deny Kaduna state of $350m world Bank loan.
