- He revealed that the media intentionally misinterpreted his statements during his time in office
Femi Adesina, the former Spokesperson to former President Muhammadu Buhari, has revealed that the media intentionally misinterpreted his statements during his time in office.
Adesina shared this during a media chat organized by the Association of Veteran Journalists in Osogbo on Wednesday.
He expressed that certain media organizations purposely portrayed him in a negative light and created conflicts between him and the general public simply because he held a government position.
“My biggest challenge during the eight years that I served with former President Muhammadu Buhari was the fact that a section of the media deliberately quoted me out of context.
“I eventually grew out of it and got used to the antics. Even while I had a television interview, it was turned upside down in the papers deliberately to make me an enemy of the public, but I outgrew it and it did not affect my duty throughout my tenure”, he said.
