Federal Government Denies Ordering 53 Gold-Plated iPhones

The Federal Government has denied the allegation that it ordered 53 gold-plated iPhones for the country’s 53rd independence anniversary celebration and described the allegation as entirely false and figment of the imagination of the authors.

The denial, was made in a statement by the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Dr Reuben Abati...see the statement below:

We consider the reports in a section of the media claiming that the Nigerian government had ordered customized gold iPhones from a Dubai-based company to mark the country’s 53rd independence anniversary in October not only false and misleading, but utterly mischievous. 

It is instructive that despite the refutation of the story by the company, which ought to have laid the mischief to rest, a number of politically-minded news media continue to insist on promoting the blatant falsehood. We deplore their antics as yet another attempt to use any trick or means possible to discredit President Jonathan’s well-meaning, hardworking and focused administration.
