The presidency has apologised for a claim that President Bola Tinubu was the first African leader to ring the bell at the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations (NASDAQ).

On Tuesday, shortly after performing the act, a statement released by Ajuri Ngelale, special adviser to the president on media and publicity, claimed Tinubu as the “first African president ever to receive the honour”.

However, contrary to Ngelale’s claim, Jakaya Kiwete, former president of Tanzania, rang the NASDAQ closing bell in 2011.

In a statement on Friday, the presidency said the error was “deeply regretted”.

“We inadvertently referred to President Bola Tinubu as the first African leader to ring the bell at NASDAQ on Wednesday in New York, based on the information provided by a third-party event organiser.


“We have since found out that this information was/is incorrect as a former African leader has indeed had the privilege. This error is sincerely regretted,” the statement said.

Wetin you smoke sef. People wey talk the lie dey beg , you dey here dey type rubbish.

Propaganda

Actually, Tinubu is the first drug dealer to ring the closing bell.

Make this man no pour sand for our garri

They are simply confused

Morons who are always quick to dish out statements in a bid to continue to feed and oil their failing propaganda machine.

Shame.

Tinubu is very useless


Bloody maggot

UAE visa ban lifted: That was a lie.

Tinubu is the 1st African leader to ring the NASDAQ bell: Another lie

Joe Biden will meet with Tinubu on the sidelines of UNGA, he is the only African leader he has requested to meet: Another lie!!

Lies and propaganda government.
The nemesis of the APC is the Internet savvy GenZ.


Lai Mohammed just ed the button to Ngelale and co

No be bait anything. It was a mistake by the person that issued it. They have deeply regretted it & have withdrawn the claim.

Ngelale actually learnt from the best. Oga lie. He is doing what his oga taught him.

No blame him.

This is what you get when you have nothing to show in government

Take us back to the golden pdp years of robust economy

Tinubu we no do again

This ngelaga albino should continue making a fool of tinubu

I think it's now beyond clear that these Yoruba people are out to defend tinubu regardless of how foolish it seems

This is for those buying their "give him time gimmick"

These people don't mean well for this country, defending the undefendable

Still the first Nigerian President to do so.
Still an achievement.

But it doesn't reduce the price of Garri anyway 😂

omo propaganda go kill this govt before imcompetence and bad policies go do am...this guy ajuri or wetin be his name need to be cautioned...he is too eager to score points that he kept embarrasing his principal..

Ajuri Ngelale probably wanted to add ringing that yeye bell as an achievement before he was busted.

In any case, I like that he was courageous enough to apologize. Lai Mohammed would never apologize.

Awwwwwwwn

Baby steps

Hahahaha

Too bad

Propaganda government

Anything to make APC e-rats and keyboard warriors get agitated as if high on kolos

Shameful

e be like say Lair Mohammed dey learn work from this Ajori Ngalielie 😂😂😂

Government of propaganda by propagandists for propagandists.
The same way they imagined they saw the VISA ban being lifted by the UAE and rushed to press.

So una post something like that without fact checking first?

Ajuri mis fired
