“We wish to clarify that Muhammed gratefully accepts the appointment as Chairman of the Bank of Agriculture, as announced by the federal government, and extends his sincere appreciation to President Tinubu for the trust and confidence bestowed upon him,” part of the statement reads.
Mr Muhammed urged Nigerians to verify news from official sources before sharing.
