The Presidency has dismissed #RevolutionNow protests that held in some parts of the country on Wednesday as a mere child’s play and an irritation.
The Senior Special Adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, speaking on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily programme this morning, said a gathering of only a handful of young Nigerians cannot be described as revolution protests.
Adesina said the protests were carried out by a small number out of the about 200 million Nigerians.
He said what happened on Wednesday was more like a child’s play and and nothing to worry about.
“By my estimation, it just seemed like a child’s play because protests by their very nature are spontaneous things, mass things. These are just a sprinkle of people trying to be funny. As far as I am concerned, it is nothing to worry about.”
He said “a revolution is always a mass thing, not a sprinkle of young boys and girls you saw yesterday in different parts of the country. I think it was just a funny thing to call it revolution protests.”
“In a country of 200 million people and if you see a sprinkle of people saying they are doing a revolution, it was a child’s play,” he said.
