Garba Shehu, Senior Special Assistant, Media and Publicity to President Muhammadu Buhari, has reacted to the revelation made by the publisher of SaharaReporters, Omoyele Sowore, on what transpired between he and prominent Nigerians who visited him when he was detained by the Department of State Services in Abuja.
He said they wanted him to renounce his stand on the #RevolutionNow movement in exchange for his freedom from the detention of the DSS. "They said they had come to discuss my freedom from detention. While I thanked them for their kind intervention, I made it clear that it was wrong to meet with me in detention without first consulting with my lawyer, Femi Falana.
"It is important that I state that it was the force of Malam Isma'ila's argument that made the meeting possible. Vanguard Newspapers publisher, Sam Amuka and ThisDay Publisher and President, Nigerian Press Organisation, Nduka Obaigbena, all agreed that Sowore was a"rascal", who had used his newspaper"to abuse all of us," but agreed, nonetheless to go and press for his release.
