The Presidency says the President, Muhammadu Buhari, is not a âshowmanâ but he rather believes actions speak louder than voice.
Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, spoke on Monday while featuring on Channels Televisionâs âSunrise Dailyâ programme.
He was reacting to Buhariâs âbody languageâ and demands that the president address Nigerians and condemn herdsmen attacks on farmers and residents in parts of the country.
He said, âWhen Femi Adesina or myself speaks for the president, people should accept that it is the president that is speaking. For this president, it is the actions that should speak for him; he (Buhari) is not a showman, he doesnât have to be there.â
âPeople should not personalise the issue. This country has problems, it requires the involvement of everyone, all hands must be on the deck to solve these problems âcommunity leaders have a role, senators have a role, everyone has a role,â he added.
The Presidentâs aide also said security agencies are on top of the situation, noting that they do not lack the political will to quench the crisis.
He said, âWe need to be appreciative of the enormous risks that our security people are facing, they are making it possible for you and I to sleep well because they are exposing themselves on the frontline.
âSo, for everybody to say there is no political will, is anybody complaining? Is the IG of police saying he is unable to do his job because he doesnât have political support? This president allows you to do your job.â
