The Presidency says there is a “game plan” to launch “orchestrated campaign of calumny in the days ahead” in which President Muhammadu Buhari “would be portrayed as not being in charge of the country.”
A presidential spokesman, Femi Adesina, in a statement on Wednesday, said the narrative had already “started from a procured offshore medium by the instigators”.

Adesina said: “The smear campaign in the works against the President and his office would be launched by disgruntled political elements in the country who had been shopping for pliant online media that will serve as accomplices in their nefarious act.”
According to him, the plot is to cook up stories with “jejune and unsubstantiated allegations” to sow seeds of discord and discontent in the country.
The presidential spokesman urged Nigerians to be wary and discerning in what they consumed as news and special reports from such “online media, as they are in cahoots with agents of destabilisation, seeking ultimate political gains.”
He said President Buhari remained focused and single-minded in his determination to serve the country to the best of his ability, bringing change to different facets of our national life.
