President Muhammadu Buhari said he was digusted at the manner in which the foreign press handled the coverage of the recent #EndSAR protests in Nigeria.
The President, in a tweet via his official Twitter Handle on Wednesday, said the foreign media houses did not balance their reportage on the protests.
According to him, the reports from some major foreign media firms did not attempt to lend a voice to the plight of policemen that were killed following the violence that erupted after the protests.
He further noted that the stations which were burnt and prisons that were opened did not make it into the reports of the foreign press.
President Buhari’s tweet came a day after he held a closed-door meeting with all 36 state governors at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
At the meeting, the President reportedly warned about a reccurrence of the #EndSARS protests, saying that no responsible government would allow that to happen.
“We do not stop anyone from demonstrating, but you don’t set up roadblocks and smashing windscreens. Which government will allow that?’’ Buhari asked.
