Herdsmen crisis: He is not a showman, don’t expect him to speak every time – Presidency

A presidential spokesman Garba Shehu, has stated that president Muhammadu Buhari does not need to speak up every time to show that he’s worried over the herdsmen crisis.

He stressed that the President, through his spokespersons, has condemned such violent activities.

He was reacting to a comment by Senate Minority Leader, Enyinnaya Abaribe that Buhari is not ready to end the protracted crisis.

Shehu described his comments as “uncharitable.”

“Senator Abaribe dwelt a lot, attacking President Muhammadu Buhari, saying that he has not, even at a rhetorical level, spoken against this kind of violence,” Sheu said. “That is most uncharitable.

“When Femi Adesina or myself speak 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 is not a showman. He doesn’t have to be there.”
