The Presidency has explained why President Buhari did not speak on the Lekki toll gate shooting during his speech on the 22nd of October, 2020.
Presidential aide, Femi Adesina, exchanging views with journalists, said it would be premature and presumptuous for the president to talk about the shooting as it is still being investigated.
Adesina pointed out that the Defence Headquarters issued a statement to say that it was investigating the matter.
He also noted that the Lagos State Governor has set up a probe panel to investigate what happened.
He, therefore, said the President could not have said anything while investigation is ongoing, adding that it is after investigation has been concluded that he can speak on the matter.
