Buhari did not say 40m Nigerians are mad, it's fake news - Femi Adesina

The special adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari on media and publicity, Femi Adesina, has dismissed the reports insinuating that 40 millions Nigerians suffer from mental illness as fake news.

He wrote: Evil minds claim President Buhari says 40 million Nigerians are mad. Fake news. They now play with the mental health of people to gain political advantage. Beware of them.
