President Muhammadu Buhari’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, on Monday, threatens PUNCH’s State House Correspondent, Mr John Ameh, Igbere TV has learnt.
Igbere TV gathered that Ameh and other journalists were at the Press Gallery of the Presidential Villa, Abuja when Adesina, a former President of the Nigeria Guild of Editors, walked in and, without exchanging courtesies, began to scream and gesticulate aggressively at our correspondent in the full glare of his colleagues.
“What was that rubbish you people wrote on Saturday? Adesina asked, referencing a story published by the PUNCH, on Saturday.
“Did you say that Mr President did not approve the statement? Let me tell you, if you want to last here, you had better be careful!”
The presidential aide then walked away before Punch Newspaper correspondent could utter a word in response.
Igbere TV gathered that Adesina had also threatened to bar members of the State House Press Corps from ‘open coverage’ of the President’s events.
