Following the series information posted on social media about the present state of the economy through the twitter account of the Minister of Finance, Mrs Kemi Adeosun, she has come out to announce through her Media Adviser, Mr. Festus Akanbi that she does not have a twitter account.
According to a statement issued on Thursday by Mr. Akanbi, the statement reads, “The attention of the Minister of Finance, Mrs. Kemi Adeosun, has been drawn to a fake Twitter handle in her name, saying that ‘recession is just a word.”
“For the avoidance of doubt, the minister does not own a Twitter account. The Twitter handle currently trending, and any other Twitter handle presently in existence is not, and cannot be that of the minister as a twitter account has not yet been set up for her. It is obviously fake and does not represent the views and opinions of the minister.
“Also at no time did the minister, who addressed the media immediately after Wednesday’s Federal Executive Council, make such a statement.”
The statement expressed the empathy of the finance minister over the present state of the economy and how hard it has been for Nigerians.
