Special adviser on media and publicity to President Muhammadu Buhari, Femi Adesina has told the United States of America not to poke-nose into the affairs of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
The presidential spokesman disclosed this on Channels TV when he spoke on the alleged religious persecution raised against Nigeria by the western country.
Adesina also went further to note that the US was not appointed by anybody or any country to be the policeman of the world.
He said the country had her own issues and that they should face it.
"The US itself has enough to chew solving its own problems not to talk of poke-nosing '(sic)' into that of another country. No man, no country, nobody has appointed them the Policeman of the world, let them face their own issues," Femi Adesina on Religious Freedom.
