JUST IN: No DSS Advisory on APC’s Muslim-Muslim Ticket – Presidency
POLITICS DIGEST- The Presidency has described as toxic, fake news the story in some online newspapers that the Department of State Services (DSS) had kicked against the nomination of Senator Kashim Shettima as the vice presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The purveyors of the fake news had earlier on Friday claimed that the DSS had sent a security report to President Muhammadu Buhari which said the Muslim-Muslim ticket of the ruling party would destabilise the country and endanger the lives of Christians.
The Presidency’s statement read in full:
“We wish to advise well-meaning Nigerians to ignore a laughably puerile report by an apparently pirate online newspaper seeking to sow division and chaos on the choice of Governor Kashim Shettima as the Running Mate of our Party’s Presidential Candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
“This so-called newspaper is like a deadly virus. Stay safe by keeping away from its toxic reports.”
The APC presidential candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, had last Sunday nominated Shettima as his running mate ahead of next year’s election.
