Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to President Muhammadu Buhari, Femi Adesina, has disclosed the Presidency has caught up with an insider who leaked the President\u2019s speech on Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Adesina, in his weekly column \u201cFrom The Inside\u201d, described the person responsible for the leak as an \u201cenemy of the state.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A draft copy of the presidential speech delivered nationwide by 8 pm had been circulating in social media as early as 4 pm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The draft was however strikingly full of errors though it was almost the same with the copy Buhari eventually read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Adesina, enraged by the leak, responded in his column titled \u201cEnemy of the state.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to him: \u201cWell, an Enemy of the State struck in Nigeria on Monday, but this time, it was no fiction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
