Millions of Nigerians not bothered about Sowore’s rearrest —Presidency

The Presidency has said that millions of Nigerians are not
bothered about the rearrest of SaharaReporters Publisher, Omoyele
Sowore, at the Federal High Court in Abuja last Friday.

The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity,
Femi Adesina, said this during Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily
programme on Monday.

Adesina was asked to react to the outrage that greeted the
violent rearrest of Sowore.

He said the Presidency stands by the claim of the State Security
Service that the video circulating did not reflect what actually
transpired in court.

The President’s spokesman added, “I don’t particularly agree
with you when you say a lot of Nigerians (are not happy), you know
that all this noise has been coming from less than 100,000
Nigerians. And the noise will be so loud that you think it is the
whole country.

“It is a country of 198 million people. When just 100,000 are
making noise in the social and traditional media, you would think
the whole country is in an uproar. There are millions and millions
of people who are not bothered.

“There are millions of people who know what the issues are. So,
you cannot just seek the opinion of a local minority and then
conclude that the country is in an uproar.”
