Presidency reveals why President Buhari didn’t speak on Lekki toll gate massacre in his national broadcast

Femi Adesina, the Presidential aide, in an interview on Channels TV’s ‘Politics Today’ stated that it would be “premature and presumptuous” for the president to speak on the shooting while it was still being investigated.

In his words...

“The Defence Headquarters issued a statement to say that it was investigating the matter. Lagos State Governor has also set up a probe panel to investigate what really happened. 

“So, the President couldn’t have said anything because it would be premature and presumptuous while investigation is ongoing. It is after investigation has been concluded that he can speak on the matter.”
