President Muhammadu Buhari’s reason for not mentioning anything during a nationwide broadcast yesterday , about the shooting of #ENDSARS protesters in Lekki which occured on Tuesday night has been because the event being “premature and presumptuous.”
Many Nigerians have described the ommission of the shootings or empathising with the victims during the much-awaited presidential broadcast, as deliberate and callous.
However, his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, who appeared on Politics Today, a live show on Channel Televisions, said the President couldn’t have said anything about the shooting because it was being investigated.
He said: “The Defence Headquarters issued a statement to say that it was investigating the matter. Lagos State Governor has also set up a probe panel to investigate what really happened.
“So, the President couldn’t have said anything because it would be premature and presumptuous while investigation is ongoing.
It is after investigation has been concluded that he can speak on the matter.”
