Contrary to the information that went viral this morning that President Muhammadu Buhari would address the nation on the state of the Covid-19 outbreak, and what the next phase of the lockdown would be like, the broadcast has been cancelled.
In a statement on his verified Twitter handle, Femi Adesina, the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, disclosed that the President was no longer addressing the nation.
Adesina said the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 led by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, would update the nation during its debriefings.
“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,” he tweeted.
