It will be recalled that various media outlets have reported that President Muhammadu Buhari will be addressing the nation in a broadcast on Monday, following the end of the first phase of the gradual easing of the COVID-19 lockdown, however, Femi Adesina, the Special Adviser, Media and Publicity to President Muhammadu Buhari, has denied such.
Femi Adesina made this disclosure in a Tweet on Monday afternoon. He said:
"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".
Earlier, Aliyu Sani, the national coordinator of the presidential task force on COVID-19, made this disclosure when he appeared on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics.
According to him, the president is to decide on whether or not the country should go ahead with the second phase of the easing of the lockdown.
