Buhari Never Promised To Make N1 Equal $1 — Presidency

Femi Adesina, Special Adviser to the President on Media and
Publicity, said the claims suggesting that President Muhammadu
Buhari made such a promise are false.

“It does not exist, it is fake, it is false, it is apocryphal,
it doesn’t exist,” Adesina insisted while appearing as a guest on
Channels Television’s Sunday Politics.

Adesina said the minister of information, Alhaji Lai Mohammed,
debunked the claim many times and challenged anyone with clips and
publications to make them available.

Speaking further about negative criticisms directed at the
president and the administration, Mr. Adesina said Nigerians must
stop dwelling solely on the negatives if the country is to forge
ahead in the progressive path.

The president’s special media aide argued that there are silver
linings in the sky. He, however, opined that it is typical of
Nigeria that when the break in the clouds comes, no one talks about
them.

Adesina’s comments come on the heels of some assertions made by
former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, following a recent report
that tagged Nigeria as the nation with the world’s highest
unemployment rate.
