Buhari Admits Plagiarising Obama’s Speech

The Presidency has admitted that the  similarities between a Paragraph in the 2008 Obama Speech & Paragraph 9 of the Change Begins With Me Speech are too close to be passed off as coincidence.

A statement by Senior Special Assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu on Friday said ”there was a mistake by an overzealous staff”, adding ”we regret that this has happened”.

Shehu said; “already, a Deputy Director in the Presidency has accepted responsibility for the insertion of the contentious paragraph.

“This serious oversight will be investigated thoroughly and appropriate sanctions meted out

“We wish to state in the clearest possible terms that we regret this unfortunate incident and will ensure that it does not happen again.
