Martin Luther King center has denied giving President Mohammadu Buhari an award.
President Muhammadu Buhari had on Monday received the family of the late Martin Luther King Jnr in Abuja. Mr. President received them during the conferment of the First Black History Month National Black Excellence and Exceptional African Leadership Award 2018 at the Council Chambers in Abuja.
However, The King Center, in a tweet, denied knowledge of the award given to President Buhari.
The award given to President Buhari of Nigeria was not given by The King Center, at the request of The King Center or by the children of #MLK and #CorettaScottKing. @MrFixNigeria

Can't stop laughing…… Presidential aides told us Buhari has a sense of humour? Receiving 'fake' award could be part of sense of humour pic.twitter.com/86dE3lqoCf
