This is coming after the Senior Special Assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari on Political Matters, Gideon Sammani, announced the Sheriff’s appointment.
According to Premium Times, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Boss Mustapha also disowned Sammani’s announcement.
The SGF, in a statement issued to newsmen, called on Nigerians to disregard the reports.

The statement issued by the SGF’s spokesman, Lawrence Ojabo, reads: “The attention of the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation has been drawn to documents in circulation in print and social media purportedly issued by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Political Matters in the Presidency as public notice, announcing the names of certain individuals and appointing them into different roles under the BUHARI 2019 PRESIDENTIAL SUPPORT COMMITTEE, as well as soliciting for support.

“It has become imperative to clarify to all Nigerians and in particular to APC members that the said documents are unauthorised, misleading and should therefore be totally disregarded.
“Administrative measures are being put in place to ensure that such lapse does not recur in future”.
Ali Modu Sheriff, also a former Governor of Borno state, decamped to the All Progressives Congress (APC) after the Supreme Court sacked him as the PDP chairman on July 12, 2017.
