Why Buhari Didn’t Speak On Lekki Shootings - Femi Adesina by Nobody: 9:27pm On Oct 23, 2020
President Muhammadu Buhari didn’t mention anything about the shooting of #ENDSARS protesters in Lekki on Tuesday night during a nationwide broadcast yesterday because it would be “premature and presumptuous.”

Many Nigerians have carpeted Buhari for not mentioning about the shootings or empathising with the victims during the much-awaited presidential broadcast, describing the ommission as deliberate and callous.

But his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, who appeared on Politics Today, a live show on Channel Televisions monitored by The Nation, said the President couldn’t have said anything about the shooting because it was being investigated.

He said: “The Defence Headquarters issued a statement to say that it was investigating the matter. Lagos State Governor has also set up a probe to investigate what really happened.

“So, the President couldn’t have said anything because it would be premature and presumptuous while investigation is ongoing. It is after investigation has been concluded that he can speak on the matter.”

They all wanted buhari to respond based on the reckless videos making rounds claiming 100s of people died in the massacre.
A massacre happened and there were no blood stains anywhere, no hospital reported that the dead bodies are been preserved in their morgues, no identities yet, the massacred protesters don't have a family, no obituaries, no funerals yet? Those who were alleged to have died have come out to debunked the fake NEWs.
Even if the army seized the bodies of those they killed(which is a lie), the families have not kom out to decry their missing ? Even the protest organizers don't know those who died. Even those who made live Instagram videos were caught posting fake pictures.. in this era where everyone has access to Android phones, nobody has authentic pictures of those who were massacred in lekki.
A thorough investigation needs to be carried out on this matter and people made to face the full wrath of the law

Falz, DJ switch, Aisha yesufu, wailers... We demand to know the identities of those massacred... Oh, even falz posted fake pictures

The president actually expressed sadness and sympathy over the deaths recorded.

Why did he have to mention the Lekki victims specially?
Are they better than those that died in other places during the protests or the law enforcement agents that were hacked to death all over the coutry?.

So investigations were already carried out about the police that lost their lives, the destroying of properties and the attack on Oba of Lagos palace, that was why he spoke on those right?

May fresh thunder wey just graduate from the university of Sango, scatter that your stupid mouth for insulting our intelligence.

Each time Femi Adesina makes the headlines, I preepare my mind to hear something extremely dumb.
I wasn't disappointed on this occasion.

How does his family cope with his dumbness?
