Special Adviser to President Buhari on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, says he has suffered in the hands of those that twist information and spread fake news. While speaking at the 5th-anniversary lecture of News Express in Lagos yesterday September 28th, Adesina said that the purveyors of fake news and the consumers of such news have continued to help in its circulation. According to the presidential media aide, those who spread fake news and also the consumers of fake news should be punished by law.
“I have suffered a lot from those who twist information. Our president came back August 19 and we said on 21, he was going to broadcast. We said the broadcast was 8am. Suddenly someone went online and said the broadcast has changed to 7am which had no truth in it at all. And you know, many people believed the change so a lot of people missed the original broadcast. That same day people began to call to ask if there was a public holiday. It turned out that it was Kogi state that declared public holiday and someone went online to say it was national.
"If anything must worry us as media people or citizens of any country, it is fake news. Fake news is an epidemic now. But it is not just the purveyors of fake news that should be sanctioned, even the consumers of it are guilty because statistics have shown that the world consumes fake news more than true news. I saw those statistics online while doing a research” he said.

Fake news that was use in dethroning gej

So of all the lies and misinformation they have been distributing to us, the only viable example is that people missed buhari's broadcast. What good has listening to a divisive man done to us? When a whole minister of information could tell us that buhari is been treated in the UK with Nigerian drugs.
Please go an sleep

Nigeria's has suffered alot for your master's lies and hypocrisy that brought him to power.

Wch kin twist information?

Oh, you mean the fact that your master said he'll make #1 equate $1 and you having to defend why he's doing the opposite?

Nigerians is a giant psychiatric ward..filled with jokers

I personally watched buhari in US after the elections saying that those regions that gave him 5% will not get the same treatment as those regions that gave him 97%....
What is playing out today....


The Armed Fulani herdsmen are mere criminals from Libya..Chad and Niger while unarmed igbo christain protesters are terrorists

They think the United States are foolish like Nairaland and nigger Area zombies

For someone to have a job like defending the father of incompetence termed buhari is not easy...
But I can't remember seeing a gun on femi's head forcing him to do the job...

Nobody has had to twist anything. Since you guys don't often say the truth. It's twisted already

the point here is that Femi Adesina have never ready to listen to people's opinion and advice. Femi is only doing what his fulani leaders direct him to do. So so pathetic.
