Buhari’s spokesman reacts to Punch editorial

Spokesman to President Muhammadu Buhari said The Punch newspaper is free to refer the president by his military rank.

“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,” Buhari’s special adviser on media Femi Adesina said on Wednesday.
