Minister Kemi Adeosun disowns twitter handle where she is quoted to have said recession is just a word



Minister of Finance, Kemi Adeosun has dissociated herself from a fake Twitter handle that tweeted 'Recession is just a word and would soon be a thing of the past' a few days ago.,....



The finance minister was blasted for the tweet, which she has now denied tweeting. Adeosun made the denial in a statement released by her Special Assistant on Media, Festus Akanbi.


 The statement reads;



“The attention of the Honourable Minister of Finance, Mrs. Kemi Adeosun, has been drawn to a fake Twitter handle in her name saying that ‘recession is just a word. For the avoidance of doubt, the Honourable Minister does not own a Twitter account.

The Twitter handle currently trending, and any other twitter handle presently in existence is not, and cannot be that of the Honourable Minister, as a twitter account has not yet been set up for her.

It is obviously fake and does not represent the views and opinions of the Honourable Minister.‎

Also at no time did the Honourable Minister, who addressed the media immediately after Wednesday’s Federal Executive Council, make such a statement.

The Minister has consistently demonstrated empathy for the plight of Nigerians hard hit by dwindling oil prices and the impact on the economy
