The Federal Government has apologized to Nigerians for the plagiarism pointed out in the president’s speech at the just concluded “Change Begins with Me” campaign in Abuja,.
Reacting to comments by Nigerians through the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media, Garba Shehu .
Mr Shehu responding to the allegation through his twitter handle @Garshehu .
“PMB has ordered that prompt & appropriate disciplinary action be taken against those responsible for a wrongful insertion in his speech delivered on September 8, 2016 at the launch of the “Change Begins with Me’’ campaign.”
“It was observed that the similarities between a paragraph in President Obama’s 2008 Victory Speech and what President Buhari read in paragraph 9 of the 16 paragraph address while inaugurating the Campaign on Thurs., Sept. 8, are too close to be passed as coincidence. There was a mistake by an overzealous staff and we regret that this has happened. 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 sanction meted. The Presidency wishes to state in the clearest possible terms that it regrets this unfortunate incident and will ensure that this does not happen again”
” President Buhari urges Nigerians to look beyond this incident and focus on the message of change which the country needs in order to restore our cherished value systems” he said .

Copy copy buhari Mr president
He buhari shud know now dat nigerians eyes and ears are wide open. If ant pass,we go hear its sound.
So you can’t just make a speech concerning what’s going on around your country, u must need a speech writer. Shame!!
If you no be Obama you no fit be like Obama.
Chaiii. Biggest disgrace. Nigerians have entered one chance in the hands of APC
Cut and paste
Sumone no fit copy speech again Oga oooo
We never had any of these issues during GEJ’s tenure, yet he (Buhari) called him (GEJ) “clueless”….God continue to be with you, GEJ.
The did it to Gej,when he said “stealing is not corruption”
Anita Isreal …GEJ never plagiarized anybody’s speech. He was quoting Justice Mustapha when he said “stealing is not corruption”. He stated it clearly. Go and do your findings…..
GEJ WAS A TRUE DEMOCRAT WITH A HEART AND A CONSCIENCE…WHEN HE WAS THE PRESIDENT
From #fantasticaly_corrupt_ to #budget_padding and now #photocopy_machine

Foul brain
Lol
EFCC must hear this. Must he talk with paper in his hands? When Obama said his own he said it from his head. Infact, some people needs to go meet Patience Jona to teach them her way of speaking Queen’s English.
Laugh wan tear me…..Even at school we’re not expected to do this act. But Mr change u just did copy nd paste without the consent of the person that made that quote.
Change start with Mr.president and not WAEC or NECO candidates….
Is a free world, na better tin na person dey imitate,make u also try imitate their price of rice nor be only their speech
Nawhyooo Water done pass garri
Plagiarism right? #smiles… If copy copy of a great man will make Buhari move Nigeria forward, then let it be a criminal growth. If he had copied a Terrorist speech now, we will still castigate him that he is a Fulani descendant. Make una no kill dis man before him time. Only God can make Nigeria great again. No human! A God in Buhari or anyone chosen will work soon.
HAHAHAHA BRAINLESS PRESIDENT
What do you expect from an illitrate president?
I bet u.. Someday dis Dundee go read his resignation letter without knowing it
There is nothing excellence in this man at all. You can’t lead a nation as complex as Nigerian and have no excellence in your life. Ask IBB, OBJ,PGEJ etc….a man without excellence is not fit to be a leader,. integrity without excellence will land you in so many error. Infact this presidio is full of errors, always apologizing. is his middle name Appolonia? Plssssss oh, shame they catch us…Obama would be laughing at him now presido of a third world country…. Hmmm
