The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, has denied reports that President Muhammadu Buhari will be addressing Nigerians today, Monday.
Afriupdate had reported that Aliyu Sani, national coordinator of the presidential task force on COVID-19 had said there would be a broadcast by Buhari when he appeared as a guest on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics.
Adesina, however, countered this on his Twitter handle, following the first phase of the gradual easing of the COVID-19 lockdown.
Adesina said there will be no presidential broadcast on COVID-19 updates today, stressing that none was planned.
