Publisher of Ovation Magazine Dele Momodu has described a comment allegedly credited to US President Donald Trump as “unfortunate.”
A report by the Financial Times had alleged that Trump called President Muhammadu Buhari a “lifeless” man.
Buhari had visited Trump earlier this year.
Speaking on the matter, Momodu said it is only God that gives and takes lives.
“No matter our differences in life, we must respect one another… It is unfortunate to call anyone lifeless. Only GOD gives life and only He can take it,” he posted on Twitter.
