The Presidency says the President, Muhammadu
Buhari, is not a “showman” but he rather believes actions speak louder
than voice.
Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and
Publicity, Garba Shehu, spoke on Monday while featuring on Channels
Television’s ‘Sunrise Daily’ programme.
He was reacting to Buhari’s ‘body language’ and demands that
the president address Nigerians and condemn herdsmen attacks on farmers and
residents in parts of the country.
He said, “When Femi Adesina or myself speaks for the
president, people should accept that it is the president that is speaking. For
this president, it is the actions that should speak for him; he (Buhari) is not
a showman, he doesn’t have to be there.”
“People should not personalise the issue. This country has
problems, it requires the involvement of everyone, all hands must be on the
deck to solve these problems –community leaders have a role, senators have a
role, everyone has a role,” he added.
The President’s aide also said security agencies are on top
of the situation, noting that they do not lack the political will to quench the
crisis.
He said, “We need to be appreciative of the enormous risks
that our security people are facing, they are making it possible for you and I
to sleep well because they are exposing themselves on the frontline.
“So, for everybody to say there is no political will, is
anybody complaining? Is the IG of police saying he is unable to do his job
because he doesn’t have political support? This president allows you to do your
job.”
