Popular Journalist and President of the Nigerian Guild of Editors (NGE), Mr. Femi Adesina who was recently appointed Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to President Buhari has taken to twitter to express how he feels about leaving his job with Daily Sun Newspaper to take over the new appointment.

” How do you begin a valedictory piece? How do you start to say goodbye to people you have shared almost everything with .

Next week, I will formally resume the position I’ve been offered. Have I now changed my opinion about serving in government? No.

So, why am I going? Simple.

Because it is a Muhammadu Buhari government. He can make a difference in Nigeria and he needs all good hands on deck. Do I consider myself a good hand?

“Let me leave the answer to the Publisher of this newspaper…Dr Orji Uzor Kalu.

When I first discussed the idea of going to serve in government with him, he first let out a big sigh.He kept quiet for some minutes, and then said:

“Baba Femo (that’s how he calls me). You have my blessings to go and serve.because President Buhari will need good people round him. But the government will never know the sacrifice I’m making by letting you go.

You run my business honestly, and have returned the highest profit so far in the history of the company.

The investors, the staff, everyone is happy. But I will make the sacrifice, and release you to serve in government….Since the news of my impending exit broke, not a few staff members v come to my ofce to weep. Some rain had fallen from my eyes, too.”

4th to comment no bad for lala's post

Higher calling. My sincere prayers

Woooooow! It should actually be a thing of joy, that your employee is been elevated to a new and higher status.

Atleast, Orji uzor kalu will be recognized as a stepping stone to the ladder of success of Femi Adesina.

Kudos Orji-uzor kalu for recognizing an intellectual Giant.

Hypocrisy!!
Same one that criticised Abati and Dr Okupe, same Adesina that berates journalist serving in govt.

ooook ooh

I'm not here to comment on the topic because I don't care about those dudes.

My interest is to be on fp since it was opened by lalasicclara.

My interest in wanting to be on FP is to say make Una pray for me ooo. I get MPR tomorrow and it is a make or mar encounter.

Ok. Una bye bye ooo.

Combination of Yoruba and igbo people will surely take nigeria to a greater height.

No permanent friend or foe, just permanent interest!

I have nothing to say!

Is he going there becoz of the passion he has for it or going there for the money and publicity.

i think he is having an exaggerated opinion about himself. he wants to play in another turf. he has his job cutout.

so between him and he other mallam, who should we take seriously.

And what's so special abt it

Igbos continue to provide their "hosts" with employment opportunities.
