The Presidency, on Monday reacted to reports that the Head of Service of the federation, Winifred Oyo-Ita, has forwarded her letter of retirement to President Muhammadu Buhari.<\/p>\n

Reports had on Monday morning emerged that Oyo-Ita sent in her retirement letter following pressure from her immediate family to retire over alleged N3 billion contract scam.<\/p>\n

The report had said Oyo-Ita bowed to family pressures and sent in a letter on Sunday, offering to proceed on retirement despite her consistent denial of involvement in any scam.<\/p>\n

But, reacting, the Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu, said that the presidency did not receive any letter of intent from Oyo-Ita to retire from service.<\/p>\n

\u201cThanks. We have no such letter here, in the event that such a letter exists. This is our position,\u201d he told the Nation.<\/p>\n

This is coming after EFCC quizzed Oyo-Ita over alleged N3billion contract scam. <\/p>\n

She faced a four-day grilling during which she was in custody of the anti-graft agency beginning from August 8. Mrs Oyo-Ita has now landed in the hospital after being granted administrative bail.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
