The presidential aide said Buhari’s statements were slanted to mean that the president said he is unaware of the security challenges in some parts of the country.
Adesina noted that on the contrary, Buhari is fully aware and fully in charge of all that is going on in the country.
Adesina further said that the president’s point was that insecurity in the country is caused by evil plan and not ethnicity or religion.
