The Nigerian Presidency has sent a warning message to Nigerians, especially those criticising and calling for the resignation of president Buhari.

Speaking through President Buhari's Media Adviser, Femi Adesina, while responding to a question on Nigerians asking for Buhari’s resignation, on Channels Television’s programme– Politics Today, on Wednesday, 

The presidency stated that although Nigeria is practicing democracy, that does not give Nigerians right to call for the president resignation, adding that "there's no freedom without boundaries".

Adesina said those calling for Buhari’s resignation due to the issue of insecurity in Nigeria were only exercising their freedom of speech, but such expression has its limitations.

According to Adesina: “Under a democracy, people have freedom of speech. You have freedom of speech although that freedom also has boundaries.

“There is no freedom that does not have boundaries. The freedom that does not have boundaries will even injure the person who is utilising that freedom.

“So, if anybody says that kind of thing under a democracy, it is allowed but when it is bent on causing chaos, that person may be asked to come and answer certain questions”.
