Special Adviser on Media to President Muhammadu Buhari, Mr Femi Adesina, has said that it is only about 100,000 Nigerians that are making noise over the rearrest of the Convener of RevolutionNow, Omoyele Sowore.
According to him, millions of Nigerians are not bothered about the development that has also attracted criticism from the US Government.
Speaking on a Channels TV programme, Adesina said the Presidency stood by the claim of the State Security Service that the video circulating did not reflect what actually transpired in court.
“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,” he said.
