The presidency has reacted to
reports that it plagiarised
President Obama’s 2008 victory
speech.
According to reports, President
Buhari read the alleged plagiarised
paragraph that was inserted in his
speech during the launch of the
Change Begins With Me campaign
on September 8, 2016.
A statement issued by the
President’s media aide, Garba
Shehu said it was a mistake by an
overzealous staff.
Shehu expressed regret that it
happened, adding that Buhari has
ordered that disciplinary measures
be taken against the Deputy
Director.
The presidential spokesman also
admitted that paragraph nine in the
speech was similar to Obama’s
2008 victory speech.
Shehu, who described the incident
as a serious oversight, said the
incident will be investigated and
appropriate sanctions meted out.
