The Special Adviser on Media & Publicity to President Muhammadu Buhari, Mr. Femi Adesina, has said that no one consulted the Presidency’s spokespersons before The PUNCH correspondent in Aso Rock, Mr. Olalekan Adetayo, was expelled from his beat.
In a series of tweets, Adesina extricated his office and the Presidency from the issue.
He had tweeted, “We weren’t consulted in the media office by the CSO before he expelled The Punch reporter. President Buhari is committed to press freedom.
“An amicable solution would be found to The Punch reporter matter. President Buhari does not intend to muzzle the media in any way.”
