Garba Shehu, the Official Spokesperson to the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, has given a snide response to a twitter user who demanded him to respond to Oby Ezekwesili’s attack on President Buhari.

The former education minister and ex-presidential candidate, Oby Ezekwesili while speaking on security challenges in Nigeria said “I do not think we should mince words and that’s why I am not mincing words.
