The Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, has accused sections of the Nigerian media of creating a false impression that the country is overwhelmed by insecurity, insisting that security challenges, though real, do not mean the nation is under siege.
Speaking during an interview on Arise Television on Tuesday, Onanuga said media reports often portray insecurity as if it has engulfed every part of Nigeria.
“The problem is that the media in Nigeria, they’re even creating the problem. The way they’re reporting security is as if the entire country is consumed,” he said.
He argued that many Nigerians still travel safely across different parts of the country and cited examples of people undertaking long road trips without incident.
“Don’t let people threaten you that the entire country is under siege. It’s not. There are security breaches. There are major security breaches,” he stated.
