Laolu Akande, Vice President's Senior Special Assistant-Media & Publicity, Prof Yemi Osinbajo, cleared the air when responding to President Muhammadu Buhari's list of about 35 aids.
Akande who took the opportunity to apologize to a security-attacked photographer said the so-called presidential help list is not genuine.
He took to Twitter and wrote:
"The needless scuffle btw a villa accredited photographer, Mr. Adeshida & one of our security aides earlier today has since been resolved. Incident is regretted & I have apologized to him for any embarrassment caused. Also, a list circulating in the media on d so-called sacked presidential aides is not genuine and ought to be ignored."
