The Special Adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, on Monday, unleashed a torrent of abuse and threats on PUNCH’s State House Correspondent, Mr John Ameh.

Ameh and other journalists were at the Press Gallery of the Presidential Villa, Abuja when Adesina, a former President of the Nigeria Guild of Editors, walked in and, without exchanging courtesies, began to scream and gesticulate aggressively at our correspondent in the full glare of his colleagues.

“Did you say that Mr President did not approve the statement? Let me tell you, if you want to last here, you had better be careful!”Our correspondent gathered that Adesina had also threatened to bar members of the State House Press Corps from ‘open coverage’ of the President’s events.

Adesina had issued a statement on Sunday, attacking this newspaper and its journalists. The insult-laden statement was deemed unsuitable for publication by the newspaper’s editors and, therefore, ignored. Abubakar claimed two articles, “Fresh anxiety in Aso Rock over Buhari’s poor health” and “Seat of power’s event centres going into extinction,” authored by Adetayo were uncomplimentary.

I need punch to punch PUNCH

wemmiie_ Kfb

When you are busy reporting fake news.

Nephrotic syndrome patient!

Punch always sounds childish in their reportage

Very good, it's high time you cash and carry journalist be put in your place with the way you twist stories

has become something else in journalism. With misleading headlines all the time your are only being mischievous

You are wasting your time

Why won't they brazenly threaten when they have become accustomed to having serve their tyrannical whims?

Their sponsors will not say anything now until punch is been sanctioned. Then the noise maker and the people that are paying them for all thi nonsense will start, their pay masters should call them to order.

are going to far

Power dey intoxicating him, Sina oni kumu FemAdesina

God bless PUNCH 🤜

A Reputable tabloid while I was growing up, you have lost your path and it damaging to your image.... Punch newspaper is now useless

The guy reporting from the State House for Punch obviously may have been compromised by the elements who are bent on destroying this country for their selfish interests

This is a welcome development. It is obvious Punch Newspaper has become an appendage of the corrupt elements trying to distract the government unnecessarily. Adesina is very on point

So this useless newspaper wants to publish rubbish and receive pats and praises, there would always be consequences, gone are the days of your reign as a premium paper. Stupidity is when you use such a great opportunity to twist narratives for sheer mischief. Fix up!

you are doomed already, Nigerians have lost faith in your Journalism capabilities a long time ago. You can't use Mr Adeshina to rise. You are dead already, accept it.

Is this what you call threatening What a disastrous way to use words, should all go to hell with their fake news.

How e dey do una for body sef. Stop crying wolf when there's none. When and how has Adesina carried out such alleged act. Who will save journalism. SaveJournalism.

I cannot blame , it is not easy to be idle and broke when as a company, you're saturated with streetbaked low budget Reporters. They would continue to wallow in their self-inflicted lowlife. If they desire a change, they should change their ways. StopFakeNews

Infact them suppose burn una down, Shele mad ni

I see.

In fact this is good move and I'm in support of that so that other fake journalism will learn from it

Even thought we are in free media fire storm, that shouldnt give us the privilege to publish news that are counterfeit. loz her reputation way back. Are now in the same level with SaharaReporters. too bad.

This is great news to my ears, should be aware that there’re consequences for peddling fake news, it does so much to the society and people in it...

The threat is over do

has decided to go low again, it now fast becoming unbecoming of them. They have no genuine news to sell anymore, a shot at the incumbent Govt may bring reader's radar to their track they thought, but guess what, it's getting worse for them on each trial.

They shud be banned ,we are tired of unverified news

Truth is fake news is default. And that's why is still upcoming after many years.

He doesn't have that time, is the same people reading your news that realised you guys are fake.

Yeah!!! I'm in full support, since have turned to be a purveyor of fake news and misinformation, they need a heavy hammer on them. They can't eat their cake and have it.

He did not threaten him.... he put him in his place because ideally the reporter ahould have been Punched.

After publishing fake news, you were cautioned..you still trending another fake news. Punch you guys deserve Punch.

won't disappoint Nigerians, they keep maintaining their steady level of crass incompetence and unprofessionalism.

Is only that always publish unverified news all the time. Why?

Why won't he threaten? Una go they here they write nonsense.

Nothing like threatening you guys have poor journalism your reports are misleading

Yes i support this! There should be punitive measures for media houses hell bent on using MISCHIEF TACTICS to drive up patronage. Cut them off from the very govt information source to continue gathering from 3rd Parties. NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU WASH A PIG, STY IS STILL HER ABODE

Isn't it frustrating that u say one thing and another is being reported Can we just put ourselves in the shoes of these aides and understand what they go through Nonsesne.

use to be everyone's favourite when I was growing up at parklane in Apapa then, those whites and those Habbib bank senior staff but money took them from grace to grass... You better retrace your step before you turn to ...(I won't mention names)

Fake News is like a medical prescription for outlets like and SaharaReporters ,aka Accredited Wailers.

Isn't it frustrating that u day one thing and another is reported Cam we just put ourselves in the shoes of these aides and understand what they go through Nonsesne.

Shouldn't punch be dealt with with the way they report these days...its becoming an everyday thing with them. i wonder y some fools are supporting punch. They keep feeding you lies and you keep embracing it. Foolish people.

Its getting out of hand with the way publishes misleading headlines. I hope they won't set this country on fire very soon.

Puch is trying to trend... On social media with their controversial/fake news.

Lowkey I've been thinking state house reporter deserves a PUNCH because of the fake news he reports most times

But someone needs to put in their place. We have to keep up with constant terrible journalism from them about the top 2 men in the country and fake news too. It's sickening.

ia rhe worsr media house in the Nation, they should be withdraw from the state house if they can't report news as it is

Na their way na.

has becoming too much

Adesina beware else thunder will fire you.

He will still leave the State house one day..

This man should shamefully go and sit, he's one of those that put Nigeria in this mess with his propaganda and unguarded utterances . This government lacks integrity .

All of you here just write based on your emotion, do you care to find out how punch is written and reporting fake news nowadays

Everyone knows FemAdesina often celebrates psychosis and disgrace to journalism!

Lol..... We never see a hthing

Spoke person of a failed govt FemiAdesina , MBuhari trying to intimidate the media, but remember that the power you enjoy today is temporal.

It is not his fault.... When we have a thou shall not talk president, why will the active rubbish voices of the voice we voted not Threateni journalist

It's obvious is seriously challenging supremacy of channelstv as d true independent advocate of an average 🇳🇬n nowadays. Remember, d people will still be there after government of d day is long gone!. Femi Adesina is not at your back for nothing you're doing good👍

😂😂😂😂😂, baba it will go round.

Someone needs to tell FemAdesina that his position is not permanent. He won’t be there forever.

It's either FemAdesina is the worst thing that happened to his alliance with MBuhari or his alliance with Buhari is the worst thing that happened to FemAdesina

This is how they behave when they get a little opportunity to change the course of their own game. If he wasn't in the govt now he'd be lamenting and acting like he would do better for press freedom. Now he's there, this is it. FemAdesina you're a hypocrite sir. Shame.

Una be anoda problem for naija naa

Was it with a Punch?

So?

Aye ko otoooo, no hiding place for actions n reaction with d Aso palace. As we talk others hear.
