Presidency Claims That Buhari Never Referred To Nigerian Youths As “Lazy”

The Presidency has explained that President Muhammadu Buhari never referred to all Nigerian youths as lazy in the statement he made on Wednesday during the question and answer section of the Commonwealth Business Forum in London.
In a statement released by the media aide to the President, Mr. Femi Adesina, the Presidency explained that Buhari only made reference to “a lot of” Nigerian youths and not all of them.
The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, made the clarification in a press statement on Thursday evening.
He also attributed the media outrage that trailed the President’s comment to those he described as “manipulators and twisters” of Buhari’s statements. See his statement below:
Typical of their stock in trade, manipulators and twisters of statements of Mr. President, who lie in wait to make mischief, interpreted the comment to mean that President Buhari had taken all Nigerian youths to the cleaners.”
