The Presidency on Thursday, deplore at a newspaper columnist, Mr Akin Oshuntokun, over claim that a bomb blast had gone off in Maiduguri, Borno, on Aug. 21, killing about 88 people.

Oshuntokun, a public affairs commentator, made the claim when he appeared on Politics Today programme of Channels Television, on Aug. 21.

Mr Femi Adesina, the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, in a statement in Abuja, condemned the claim, saying no such incident was recorded.

He noted that Oshuntokun had never hidden his antipathy toward the Muhammadu Buhari-led administration.

The presidential aide said“but to go on national television and tell lies of the most heinous kind betrays a mind taken completely over by ill wishes against his own country.’’

Adesina, however, observed with delight that this year Sallah celebration passed without any reported incident of bomb blast, contrary to what happened during previous administration in the country.

“Sallah Day had passed quietly and peacefully, without even a firecracker going off, let alone bomb blast.

“That was contrary to what used to happen before the advent of the Buhari administration, when such festivals were turned to orgy of killings in many parts of the country by insurgents.

“Apparently, enemies of peace and progress had expected a return to the infamous past, thus, Oshuntokun appeared on television with his bag of lies.

“When those on the programme remonstrated with him that they were not aware of any bomb blast on that day, he stood his ground all in a futile bid to puncture the successes recorded by government in the area of security.’’

He said till the Sallah holidays ended, no bomb blast was recorded in any part of the country, “to the shame and discomfiture of the naysayers.

“One wonders: if there were bomb blasts and more than 80 people truly died, what would be the gain of anybody, except those who have become blinded by malediction and morbid wishes?

“Is carnage something now to glory about? Is the struggle for power now so ghoulish that some people have lost their humanity over it?

“Oshuntokun and his ilk should realise that this is the only country we have and we can’t swallow poison and expect it to kill the next person. What we sow is what we reap.

“Happily, however, those for a peaceful, united and cohesive Nigeria are more than those against it. That is why those with baleful, hateful thoughts would never win.’’

The presidential aide maintained that tripod goals of securing the country, fighting corruption, and reviving the economy would continue to remain central to the Buhari administration.

He said the Buhari administration was making strides in the three areas, adding that the conquests continued.

...........“but to go on national television and tell lies of the most heinous kind betrays a mind taken completely over by ill wishes against his own country.’’

This is the real definition of TREASON!

It is a treasonable offence and the DSS should be after that guy by now. He sure knows something that failed to happen, maybe there were masterminds of throwing bomb but they failed...he got lots of explanation to do

YOU ARE absolutely right Lezan.
Maybe the person they sent to detonate the BOMB chicken out.

I no trust this source

Ogbeni Adesina in the fullness of time, your many lies and propaganda will be visited.

k

Blame Game continued.....

Haaaa, anyways I walk you into the deep web and show you everything about Certified Ethical Hacking .. Be intelligent!

Wishful thinking to score cheap political point on the part of Mr. Oshuntokun

Hmmm, Oshuntokun really goofed on air. I though the man was a reputable political analyst that would rise above odious propaganda. I was. thoroughly disappointed. A certain Ogundamisi constructively picked Oshuntokun apart. Adesina and co should learn from him

The man should be arrested and prosecuted immediately...how can he be lying over such a thing; all in d name of scoring political points.

Oh or maybe he along with his cronies or bosses in PDP already paid for a bomb attack to be carried out in Borno but it failed...because i can't fathom why someone will just go on TV and lie about such a delicate matter; a claim that can't be substantiated...it is pathetic and distasteful.

same way they denied no military was killed and a few days later the army were seen burying 'empty' coffins.



useless APC and terrorist boooohari.

If DSS send him invitation now he will start hidden under religion sentiments.

Firefire:
Ogbeni Adesina in the fullness of time, your many lies and propaganda will be visited.

This wailer has been in agonizing pain ever since the 2015 general elections that unseated his ineffectual boss. I look forward to many more years of agony for him as Buhari marches triumphantly to victory in next year's elections.

Even without any political affiliations, inflmmatory comments like this only reveals who the true enemies of the country are.

And channels in its usual self couldn't restrain him from using their medium to peddle false news capable of causing panic.

This administration always tag the last administration as failure, yet they always compare their achievement with administration of "failure". Why won't they fail? When a man uses a failure as a yardstick for his progress, he is bound to fail.

Why will there be a bomb blast, When BH is celebrating d same thing, they even killed cow instead of ram
