BUHARI RETURNS AFTER 10 DAYS ‘PRIVATE VISIT’ TO LONDON

The media aide said, they were insinuating that Buhari was going for hospitalization, and would not return after 10 days as stated, adding that  in their “vain imaginations, they even stated that fictive Doctors have advised the President to stay longer for more intensive care”.

Penpushing further reports that, Adesina stated that, now that the President has returned, “can these Apostles of evil imaginings swallow their words? Can they retract their tendentious stories as well as press statements, and apologize to millions of Nigerians both at home and in the Diaspora that they have fed with hogwash?

“Few days after the celebration of World Press Freedom Day, we daresay that this valuable freedom does not tantamount to liberty to mislead and hoodwink the populace through concocted and jejune publications’.

“The Buhari administration will always respect and uphold press freedom, but the onus lies on those prone to passing off fiction as facts, to remember that freedom demands concomitant responsibility. Those who further share and disseminate falsehood are also encouraged to embrace responsible conduct,” he said.

Penpushing, however, recalled that, the Presidency kept mute on details of the President’s ‘private visit,’ while he did not transfer power the Vice President, Prof Yemi Osinbajo which led to speculations, that he might have travelled to see his Doctors as  done in the past.
