Africa Press-Nigeria:<\/p>\n
President Muhammadu Buhari has reacted to comments, articles and newspaper editorial, which accused him of not being in control of his administration.<\/p>\n
Garba Shehu, his senior special assistant on media, in a statement on Sunday, said the views were the language of the opposition.<\/p>\n
He labeled them people who ruined the country during their 16 years of corruption on an industrial scale.<\/p>\n
Shehu said influencers, celebrated columnists and editorial comments, do no more than endorse the opposition\u2019s wrong and fallacious position that the president is not in charge of his government.<\/p>\n
He told the authors that their criticisms are evidence of the right to freedom of expression prevailing in Nigeria.<\/p>\n
Whether it is Ibrahim Magu, Godswill Akpabio, NDDC, NSITF or others, Nigerians are bound to write letters, opinion columns, editorials and even stage lawful protests, Shehu said.<\/p>\n
He noted that 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.<\/p>\n
Shehu suggested that the opinions were orchestrated and that Buhari was being attacked because his administration decided to pursue cases of suspected wrongdoing in the anti-corruption agency, pension funds, NDDC and other agencies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
