The presidency has reacted to a statement by the presidential candidate of the Young Progressive Party(YPP), Kingsley Moghalu regarding President Muhammadu Buhari’s absence from the just-concluded G-7 meeting in France.

However, in a statement late Thursday night, Buhari’s Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu said Moghalu was either being ignorant of playing petty politics.
