Spokesman to President Muhammadu Buhari, Femi Adesina, said The Punch newspaper is free to refer the president by his military rank.
The Special Adviser On Media & Publicity to the President said, “If you decide to call him Major General, he wasn’t dashed the rank, he earned it. So, you are not completely out of order. The fact that you can do so is even another testimony to press freedom in Nigeria.”
