The status of the former military administrator
of Kaduna state was also immediately updated by Wikipedia, where it was stated
that “he is currently the Chief of Staff to president Muhammadu Buhari” ,
despite there was no source given as the confirmation of the appointment.
Contrary to the initial reports, a BBC Hausa
reporter tweeted that presidential spokesperson, Garba Shehu, has denied the
appointment of Ali as the chief of staff to the president.
The presidency has officially denied reports
that Buhari named his chief of staff, with Femi Adesina, another presidential
spokesperson, revealing that no appointment had been made.
According to Premium Times, he said“no
appointment yet”, and refused to comment further.
Buhari is still under fire for the delay in
announcing the members of his cabinet after about thirty days in office.
