The Presidency says the truth about the state of affairs in Nigeria needs to be made known to Nigerians at all times.
The statement was made in defence of President MUHAMMADU BUHARI against criticism by the opposition Peoples Democratic Party.
PDP National Publicity Secretary, OLISA METUH had picked on the President based on what he described as demarketing of Nigeria.
But the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, FEMI ADESINA, said METUH and others like him will not succeed in their plot to distract President BUHARI from the job he was elected to do.
In a statement obtained by our correspondent, the Presidential spokesman said President BUHARI will remain true to the virtues of honesty, integrity, sincerity, incorruptibility and plain-speaking.
ADESINA note that it was such qualities that endeared BUHARI to Nigerians and made them prefer his leadership to that of a deceptive and lying PDP administration.
He said the President will not, in the guise of marketing the country, refrain from telling Nigerians and the world, the emerging truths about the abject state in which years of plundering by a PDP leadership has left the Nigerian treasury and economy.
ADESINA emphasized that President BUHARI will not in the name of marketing or attracting investors, follow in the footsteps of the ousted PDP Administration and its discredited officials who shamelessly lied to Nigerians and the world about the buoyancy and vibrancy of an economy they had bled dry for personal gain.
He said METUH persists in a vain attempt to remain relevant on the national stage by unjustly denigrating the President who continues to strive with all his might to alleviate and reverse the harm done to the nation by PDP misrule and corruption.
