Ovation publisher, Dele Momodu has proffered a reason why many Nigerians misconceive President Muhammadu Buhari’s actions.
He gave the explanation in an interview with The Punch published on Saturday.
Momodu said Buhari’s uncommunicative nature makes it easy for people to read contrary meanings to his actions.
Asked for his opinion about whether Buhari is sectional as believed in many quarters, Momodu said: I don’ t know. He is a man of very few words and when you are like that, people can prejudge you , they can misconceive a lot of things about you . So there is a perception about the President and I believe it is borne out of the fact that he hardly talks to people . He doesn ’ t address the nation ; you see the President of America talking almost on a daily basis. You see the press secretary at the White House talking to American journalists every day. And if one American is lost anywhere in the world , the White House will respond almost immediately. But we have a situation where even if 1 , 000 people die , nobody talks, so it is very bad . My advice to this government is that it is part of its duty to report back to those who pay their salaries and make them very comfortable .
