Buhari Didn’t Ignore Lekki Massacre In National Broadcast – Presidency

The Presidency on Friday refuted claims that president Muhammadu Buhari ignored the killing of unarmed protesters at Lekki tollgate in Lagos.

Speaking when he appeared on Channels Television on Friday, Spokesman to President, Femi Adesina, insisted that his principal broadcast touched on the Lekki shooting.

He added that former President Olusegun Obasanjo commend Buhari during the meeting with ex-Heads of State today.

He pointed out that the president’s message to the international community was on Lekki shooting, contrary to the belief that Buhari did not talk about the tragic incident in Lagos.

“It was not omitted. That message to the international community was on Lekki shooting,” the presidential spokesman insisted.

“It is not true. Somewhere in that speech, the President spoke to the international community. He thanked those who had sought understanding before they made comments.

“He was also telling those who were hasty in their judgement to seek more information. He didn’t miss out on anything.”
