The Presidency on Sunday said
that it is too early for it to weigh in on the prosecution of detained
publisher of Sahara Reporter, Omoyele Sowore, by the Department of State
Services, DSS.
Special Adviser on Media and
Publicity to the President, Femi Adesina stated this during a live political
programme, Politics Today, aired on Channels television.
Adesina pointed out that Sowore’s
prosecution was still unraveling within the realms of the security and
judiciary.
According to him, “It is an issue
that is unraveling and I think it is still in the realm of security and
judiciary.
“The DSS has a spokesman in Peter
Afunanya. If you ask him this question, I m sure he will be able to respond.”
The presidential spokesman said
that he had not been briefed by his principal on the stand of the presidency.
Adesina added, “As we are now, I
think it is premature for the presidency to weigh into this matter but when the
presidency speaks, it should be the final position on this.
“The President had been away. He
came into the country yesterday. I have not been briefed. If he says this is
our position on this matter then I can speak on it.
“Because I have not been briefed,
I won’t be able to say much but I am sure as a media house, if you try to speak
with the spokesman of the DSS he may oblige.”
