Media Criticisms Against Buhari Are Baseless – FG

The Presidency has come out to blast various opinion articles and editorials criticizing President Muhammadu Buhari‘s control of his government.

The President’s Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Malam Garba Shehu revealed this recently via a statement.

According to him, a lot of the comments are disguised as objective criticisms and they come from the same people who ruined the country during their 16 years of corruption on an industrial scale.

He added that these writers must be mindful of the implication of words for the strategic and territorial interests of the nation.

His words, ”As many detractors have done lately, these “influencers,” “celebrated columnists” and “editorial comments”

”Sometimes, we are forced to wonder whether some writers are mindful of the implication of words for the strategic and territorial interests of the nation.

”An entrenched culture of dissent in our country is not something that anyone, not least a Buhari Presidency wants to stamp down.

”The fact that these baseless and appallingly mischievous attacks can freely be aired is itself evidence of the right to freedom of expression prevailing in the country today.

”Whether it is Ibrahim Magu, Godswill Akpabio, NDDC, NSITF and the others, Nigerians are bound to hold differing opinions, write letters, opinion columns, editorials and even stage lawful protests.

”What is sometimes worrisome is that several of these comments, disguised as objective criticisms are merely speaking the language of the opposition-the people who ruined the country during their 16 years of corruption on an industrial scale.

”These detractors pick up isolated issues like the ones in the EFCC, NDDC, and incidents of crime and corruption which have been with the country for years, and without any serious effort to uncover them, paint them a phenomena orchestrated and happening because President Buhari’s administration has decided to pursue cases of suspected wrongdoing in the anti-corruption agency, pension funds, NDDC and other government agencies.”
