A media aide to immediate past President Muhammadu Buhari, Femi Adeshina has asserted that some section in the media deliberately misquoted his statements for eight years when he was in office.
Adesina disclosed this during a media chat organised by the Association of Veteran Journalists in Osogbo on Wednesday, noting that some media outfit deliberately set him against the members of the public just because he was serving in government.
“My biggest challenge during the eight years that I served with former President Muhammadu Buhari was the fact that a section of the media deliberately quoted me out of context.
“I eventually grew out of it and got used to the antics. Even while I had a television interview, it was turned upside down in the papers deliberately to make me an enemy of the public, but I outgrew it and it did not affect my duty throughout my tenure”, he said.
