The Presidency has condemned those who have faulted the timing of a documentary , “ Buhari : Beyond the Iron and Steel” put together by the President ’ s media team, meant to show the other side of President Muhammadu Buhari .
The presidency also said the current fuel crisis in the country was not enough to stop the airing of the documentary because life was not all about doom and gloom .
The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity , Mr . Femi Adesina , in a statement on Sunday said fault - finding is the stock - in - trade of such people .
Adesina said if the critics found themselves in heaven, they would complain against God because they have no other pastime.
He further referred to the critics as “ inveterate complainers. ”
He said , “ I have read a lot of reactions , particularly online, on the timing of the airing of the documentary on President Muhammadu Buhari , slated for December 24 and 25 , 2017 , respectively , by 8 pm on NTA and Channels Television .
“ Some of the comments are borne out of genuine concern , which we appreciate, while others are virulent , coming from inveterate complainers . Fault finding is the stock - in - trade of such people, and if they mistakenly find themselves in Heaven , they would even complain against God .
“ They have no other pastime. ”
The presidential spokesman said the current fuel crisis in the country was not enough to stop the airing of the documentary because life was not all about doom and gloom .
He described the scarcity as deliberate mischief and sabotage by some marketers among other factors .
Despite the crisis , Adesina said life must continue.
He said those who love Buhari passionately would watch the documentary which he said was a spice for the holiday season .
Adesina added , “ The reactions mainly dwell on the fact that a documentary showing the human side of the President ( as against the well- known iron and steel) is coming at a time there is severe fuel scarcity in the country.
“ And I say , why not ? Is life all about doom and gloom ? Must we sit in ashes and wear sackcloth perpetually , and ignore the brighter side of life? God forbid !
“ The current fuel crisis is a combination of snafu (Situation Normal All Fouled Up) in the distribution process of petrol (which the NNPC admitted at the onset of the problem ), and deliberate mischief and sabotage by some marketers , who want to force the hands of government to increase the pump price.
“ Then , the situation is further compounded by hoarding of products and panic buying . And the government is working round the clock to restore normalcy , which will come in a matter of time.
“ Should we then be perpetually like King Lear at his worst , and consign ourselves to the doldrums occasioned by fuel scarcity at a festive period ? No .
“ Despite the temporal pains , life must continue, and we must look at the cheery side, while government works hard to bring succour.
“ That is why I disagree with armchair critics , who wail at the drop of a hat . Millions of Nigerians appreciate President Buhari , love him passionately , and would watch the airing of the documentary , which shows the President in a perspective not very well known before .
“ It’ s a spice for the holiday season , and not even ephemeral fuel crisis would dampen the enthusiasm of positive minded Nigerians . ”

Jealous because you receive only 25k from Fayose?

They are yet to Blame Goodluck Jonathan for it?

I have never seen a more insensivitve govt.
Your citizens are embittered and complaining about how they are suffering to buying fuel and their inability to travel to see their loved ones, and this useless rag- tagged govt feels this is the best time to release a stupid documentary to eulogise the most clueless President Nigerians they ever had.
I spit on this government!!
