The rate at which Nigerians are been fed with outright lies and half-truths by questionable characters and agents of this administration whose missions are yet to be known needs to be put in check. I read with consternation a news item attributed to Daily Post wherein Femi Adeshina was quoted as saying Buhari may call Nigerians in the aftermath of Donald Trump alleged phone chat .The story was not only false but a caricature of the actual conversation that took place between Femi Adeshina and Seun Okinbaloye on Channels TV flagship programme-Politics Today. I watched the programme live and there was nowhere Adesina quoted Buhari as saying he'll speak to Nigerians.

The conversation went thus:

Seun Okinbaloye: Maybe (sic) the president can speak to Nigerians from UK(ostensibly asking Adeshina if Buhari can speak to Nigerians having spoken to Trump on phone)

Adeshina: You just said maybe( laughing hysterically).

In a nutshell, Adeshina never said he spoke to Buhari on the possibility of him speaking to Nigerians. He only responded to the poser thrown to him by Seun. It would be a welcome development if the phone call happens in the nearest future but twisting facts to deceive the citizens is irresponsible.

Some people will just get high bp on Buhari health status.

Nobody is loosing sleep over Buhari's health but peddlers of fake news must be stopped lest our country becomes a laughing stock in the committee of nations.

Buhari would help himself if he puts a call across to Nigerians but Adeshina did not promise that.

APC is gradually entrenching the culture of lies and deceits in our social life. It's worrisome.

You just confirmed that Femi Adesina never said anything, then you turn around to blame APC for the silly interpretation of Daily Post?

Now what's the difference between this your thread and the rubbish vomited by Daily Post?

Make una try dey use small dignity dey do this opposition thing abeg.

How do we know if Daily Post has not become a willing tool for falsehood and propaganda just like The Nation Newspaper.

Just listen to yourself again, how can opposition elements plant a story to project the image of the ruling party? That story was concocted to reduce tension about Buhari's health.

@ Op, you are missing it, haters may be behind the twist in the news so as to make noise when Mr Presidio that not make any phone call, pls advice your people oooo

Project which image?... Saying the president 'MAY' speak to Nigerians?... How does that project what image exactly?

@OLADD, there you go with your answer by the way....

Project Buhari's image as being a listening leader. You and I know Buhari doesn't give a hoot about Nigerians' feelings. A president that went on vacation two days after 236 citizens were "mistakenly" killed by the military could be described as a callous leader.

Lol.. you guys take your opposition to ridiculous amusing levels. The president is sick and is attending to his health, any complaints should be channelled to the Ag. President, that's why you have an Ag. President.

Besides, on a personal note, if I were Mr President, I wouldn't make a single attempt to speak to anyone under these circumstances until I return. Anyone who says they would die if they don't hear my voice, such a person should kindly do the needful with a wet NEPA transformer. The hard truth about this whole 'where is the president?' saga is that it is coming mainly from people who wish the president dead... They just want confirmation of answered prayers.

Is the President's sickness so precarious that he can't make a 2-minute direct conversation with his people at home? Besides, I thought Lai Mohammed and Femi Adeshina said he's "hale and hearty"? Wow! You can do better than this.

How did you know it was a mistake by Daily Post and not a connivance with Buhari Media Organisation? When did you become a pseudo spokesperson for the president?

Lol... he is not going to call anyone oooooo!! If I were him, I would make sure I never call because the people who keep wailing over this call (as if their lives depend on it) are actually the people who wish buhari was dead. The real motive behind the desperate requests for the president to speak to Nigerians is just so as to know/confirm when to start the wild jubilations and street parties.

Like I said before, if I were oga president, I would totally press the ignore button; there is a capable Ag. President who is doing very well in the absence of his boss. If you have any urgent issues, go to him.

Are you saying this because you're a fan of the president or simply displaying traits of arrogance? Can you imagine a United States president rendering himself incommunicado amidst rumour of death simply because he's on vacation? Is this how Nigeria wants to catch up with first world countries?

Even if their motive centres on prejudice, don't you think the president owes even his supporters some level of respect by speaking out? This is not 17th century my friend.

There is no indication that it was in connivance with anybody. You just like to make pointless assumptions. If that was the presidency's intent, Femi would have done it himself on air. They don't need daily post besides saying the President will speak to Nigerians does nothing for the government so this your thread is pointless. You just like to cry wolf where there is none.

I don't need your opinion on the pointlessness or otherwise of my post, leave that to the other Nairalanders to decide.

Meanwhile, how many times has the presidency denounced fake publications that seemed to be in their favour? What of the numerous campaign promises brandished in the media and used by APC to curry votes from Nigerians only for the party to dissociate themselves from those promises after assuming office? Don't think you're conversing with a dunce.

Actually, you are fantastically proving yourself to be a dunce. You expect the presidency to respond to every publication? Now you are bringing in campaign promises, comparing apples with oranges.

He should have pushed the same Ignore button during the campaigns.

He did exactly the same when jonathanians were busy asking for 'buhari certificate' instead of campaigning for Jonathan.

That was long after election... After he had won and settled in, and then he decided to respond to noisy rants of the losers.

LOL,

That case was in courts during the elections.

But if you feel the President got no Obligation to talk to his people so be it, nobody should complain if another set of politicians do same.
