Former Nigerian Foreign Minister Yusuf Tuggar says he did not criticise or question President Bola Tinubu, responding to reports that portrayed him as dissenting. In statements carried by Nigerian media, Tuggar clarifies that any such claims are inaccurate and that his position is one of loyalty and support for Tinubu’s government.
Tuggar also reiterates his commitment to the Renewed Hope Agenda, a policy and governance programme associated with Tinubu’s administration. According to the reports, Tuggar’s comments are meant to correct what he describes as misrepresentation in coverage about his stance.
Both outlets present the same core points: Tuggar denies statements attributed to him, emphasizes that he is aligned with the President’s policies, and pledges continued support for the administration’s agenda. The reports do not provide details of the specific comments he says were misreported, nor do they include direct responses from President Tinubu or his office.
