Femi Adesina, the special adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari on media and publicity, announced on Monday that there will be no presidential broadcast on Coronavirus from Buhari today.

According to the media aide, no broadcast was planned or scheduled for today in the first place.

This online news platform recalls that the National Coordinator of the presidential task force on COVID-19, Aliyu Sani, had said during an appearance on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics that President Buhari would address Nigerians in a national broadcast over the coronavirus pandemic today.
