Femi Adesina, the Special Adviser to Nigeria’s dictator, Major General Muhammadu Buhari has reacted to the decision by Punch newspapers to henceforth refer to President Muhammadu Buhari as Major General Muhammadu Buhari.
Adesina took to his Twitter page @FemiAdesina to tweet, saying that Buhari has earned the rank ‘Major General’.
According to him, Punch’s publication is proof of press freedom under Buhari’s administration.
Adesina wrote: “If you decide to call him Major General, he wasn’t dashed the rank, he earned it. So, you are not completely out of order.
“The fact that you can do so is even another testimony to press freedom in Nigeria.”
