Don’t Report Insecurity As Rising, Buhari Begs Journalists by valentineuwakwe(op): 11:55pm On Oct 18, 2021
The President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), has urged the media to address the tone, content, and standards of reporting into security and safety measures.

In a statement signed by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, on Monday, Buhari said the term “rising insecurity” should be replaced with the “reality of declining insecurity.”

The statement was titled, ‘President Buhari Felicitates With Muslims On Eid-el-Maulud, Reassures That Significant Gains Are Being Made In Combating Insecurity.’

It partly read, “The President urges Muslims to strive for forgiveness and closeness to the noble life and teachings of the Prophet (SAW) whose birthday is being marked on this blessed day. On this auspicious occasion, I wish you all the blessings of today.

“The President uses the occasion to give a snapshot of the increased activities the Armed Forces, Police Force, and intelligence agencies have embarked upon to effectively respond to the security challenges in the nation.
“He says the government fully expects and intends for these trends to continue, and calls on the media to address the tone, content, and standards of reporting into security and safety measures. Time has come to revise the prefixes “rising insecurity” with “declining insecurity.”

“The President adds that increased cooperation and collaboration from the citizenry, coupled with reinvigorated, dynamic, and energised police, security and military leadership is helping the administration score more victories against terror, criminality, and economic sabotage. The reality of declining insecurity should replace the inaccurate narrative of rising insecurity in the country.”
Shehu quoted Buhari as saying, “While there is work to do, the men and women in uniform who are helping the nation to achieve this goal, desire our collective appreciation and encouragement to do even more. The whole country and its mass communication systems have a duty in this regard.”

The President concluded his message by appealing to road users to drive with care and avoid needless accidents.

So this mumu is truly aware that there is "rising insecurity" yet kept on lying that he has fulfilled all his electoral promisese? Begging/ threatening media houses not to report the activities of criminal elements but pampering & paying off terrorists with handsome rewards? What an irony of a government.

So the widespread deteriorating insecurity you have escalated prior to coming to govt and have now allowed to festered because your foot soldiers are doing the damage should not be reported?

No wonder these idiots just want to gag everything from the print to electronic, and social media with all manners of obnoxious policies instead of containing the atrocities of these treasonable bandits, fulani and Boko haram terrorists.

I wonder how the high graded mummified zombies of this senseless, impactless, directionless and useless govt always find a conscience to defend its many stupid unpardonable gaffes.Ekwensu kpokwa gi okuu.Foolish president.

In other words, buhari's fulani terrorist regime is begging the media to LIE (TAQIYYA) about the security situation in Nigeria. Only a terrorist regime with something devilish to hide will demand for this.






TOTAL DISINTEGRATION OF NIGERIA WILL SAVE MILLIONS OF MIDDLE BELT AND SOUTHERN LIVES FROM FULANI AND BOKOHARAM TERRORISM!

He even gave them the words to use. Lol. He might as well send battalions of soldiers to all media houses, since he loves to oppress and kill law-abiding citizens of the zoo, while fraternising with his kinsmen, the bandits.

How do you say declining insecurity when in actual sense you have even emboldened bandits and terrorists by openly paying $50k ransom to retrieve your own weapon? Declining insecurity yet people are told by the police to pay ransoms when kidnapped and not one single terrorist leader has been captured or killed? The entire FG is a joke

So state owned Media cannot be coerced or, why is this government asking private businesses to do their bidding when there are state Media? Oh, sorry, even state media is not funded to or people already think they’ve been compromised.

That’s what you get when the head is rotten
