FACT CHECK: Femi Adesina Exaggerated, There Weren’t 10 Bombings A Day Be4 Buhari by Shehuyinka: 11:58am On Jan 29, 2020
FEMI Adesina, spokesman to President Muhammadu Buhari said there were as many as 10 bombings in a single day before Buhari’s administration started in 2015.

This is not true, according to checks by The ICIR.

Adesina made the claim, on Sunday, during an interview aired on Channels Television while reacting to recent terrorist attacks, including a bomb blast in Borno state that morning.

He said, though the attacks were regrettable, the state of insecurity in the country is not as bad as the host made it seem “because we know what the situation was as of 2015 and we know what it is today”.

“Despite the reversals in security, it is still not as bad as it used to be in this country. There was a bombing or two today,” he said.

Raising his voice for emphasis, the special adviser on media and publicity added, “There was a time that there were five, six, 10 bombings in a day in this country.

“If you hear Nigerian media, if you hear social media particularly, even if you hear some international agencies, you will think that it is all over in the Northeast. It is not. The people living there will tell you that the difference between now and 2015 is the difference between heaven and hell.”
