Adesina, the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, has urged
Nigerians to ignore the media reports on Coup plot, saying it should not be
stretched beyond what the military authorities had said.
Mr. Adesina stated this at a media chat with
State House correspondents to mark two years of the President Muhammadu
Buhari-led administration on Tuesday in Abuja.
According to him, what the Chief of Army Staff,
Tukur Burutai, said about the issue was a “routine warning that goes to
military officers.’’
The presidential aide addressed the
correspondents alongside the Senior Special Assistants to the President on
Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu and Laolu Akande (Office of the
Vice-President).
Mr. Adesina said: “The Army has spoken and let
us take that position. What the Chief of Army Staff said was a routine warning
that goes to military officers, don’t hobnob with politicians and the army has
explained the position.
“Let’s take that position and not stretch it
beyond what the military has said because they are the ones that can give us
the definitive position and they have spoken on it.’’
