Buhari will not address the nation today- Femi Adesina

Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari will not address the nation today, a presidential spokesman has said.

Femi Adesina in a tweet on Monday afternoon said there is “no presidential broadcast on COVID-19 updates today.”

“None was planned. Rather, the Presidential Task Force will during its usual media briefings bring the nation up to speed on the next steps.”

The clarifications came after Sani Aliyu, the national coordinator of the presidential task force (PTF) on COVID-19, said the president will make his decision on Monday following the end of the first phase of the gradual easing of the COVID-19 lockdown.

The president was given a situation report on COVID-19 by Boss Mustapha, secretary to the government of the federation (SGF) and chairman of the PTF, on Sunday.
