<p><strong>Femi Adesina, a presidential media aide, has admitted that President Muhammadu Buhari’s visit to Maiduguri, Borno, led to the Boko Haram attack that killed several innocent citizens in the ancient city.</strong></p>
<p>The Islamic extremist last week carried out an attack on Maiduguri International Airport, according to Mr Adesina, to scare off Mr Buhari, who was scheduled for a state visit to Borno.</p>
<p>“It was a sort of scaremongering,” the media aide claimed. “They wanted to frighten the president away. But they have forgotten that this president is a retired general.”</p>
<p>Mr Adesina, who spoke on Channels TV on Sunday night, further noted that the terrorists attacked the airport to force Mr Buhari to cancel the visit.</p>
<p>“They’ve forgotten that he is a man who can stand on his own. They thought they could succeed in getting the president to cancel that visit,” Mr Adesina added.</p>
<p>Continuing, he explained, “That was why they did what they did. But you see way the president still went ahead with the visit and from all indications it was a very successful visit. It is sad that some people lost their lives in that attack. But it shows you the cowardly nature of those behind those attacks.”</p>
<p>Last Thursday, the Maiduguri airport came under Boko Haram attack, despite Mr Buhari regime’s claim that the terrorists could no longer launch large-scale attacks on cities.</p>
