The Special Adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina has once again raised question marks as to whether he is competent enough to hold such a sensitive office.
In a recent interview with Kayode Ogundamisi, a social commentator, Adesina claimed that President Buhari never promised to publicly declare his assets, claiming it was only a campaign promise of the All progressives Congress (APC).

Apparently in a bid to cover up for the President’s inability to deliver on the first of his cardinal campaign “covenants” of publicly declaring his assets, Adesina was quoted as saying:

You need to get his words right, go and check all that the president said during the campaign, in no place would you see it attributed to him as a person.

“But then there is a document by his party, the All Progressives Congress, saying he would declare publicly, so we need to see that right, it’s a declaration by his party.

“Now what does the law require? The law requires public officers to declare their assets; he has done that. But his party has a document that says he would do it publicly.

“There is a procedure for that, and the procedure is that you first declare, code of conduct (bureau) would verify and after that, if you want to make it public, the onus lies on you to say release. The procedure has to be followed.

“He has declared, and it is deposited with the code of conduct bureau and they need to verify. Let’s come to that time when code of conduct would say we have completed verification.”

It would be recalled that in the build-up to the Saturday, March 28, 2015 presidential election, Buhari had promised to make his assets known “publicly” within the first 100 days in order to set an example to every other government official in his administration.

The then presidential aspirant had said:

No matter how vast our resources, if they are not efficiently utilized, they will only benefit a privileged few, leaving the majority in poverty. I believe if Nigeria does not kill corruption; corruption will kill Nigeria.

I pledge to:

Publicly declare my assets and liabilities and encourage my political appointees to also publicly declare their assets and liabilities.

With this latest gaffe, the argument that Adesina is grossly incompetent for such a sensitive office seems to hold water after all.

So Buhari never promised to declare his assets publicly right But the same Buhari adviced his party legislators to obey party directives during the national assembly crisis. Is he not going to honor the supremacy of his party by fulfilling apc campaign manifesto to the people
Nigerians have been decieved.

Ha! Talktimi how far?

Adesina was right.

how are u sure buhari isn't aware of the blunder before it came out to the press, they all commit blunders.

I have always maintained that Mr Adesina and Garba Shehu are the worst PR team any government can put together. They are like Acid and Cyanide. They will crash this government faster than a speeding bullet. But to be honest, PMB doesn't give them much to work with. Try selling the worst president in history to the people

I don't really get. When did the asset of the president become one if the major problems common Nigerians are facing, and how does it stand to affect our lives directly? Declaring assets by a public office holder doesn't stop him in anyway from stealing/looting whatever he finds at his disposal provided the environment he's operating in is conducive for such. Of what use has the code of conduct Bureau made of the assets declared by public servants- governors,presidents, etc from time past? The Bureau should just make public whatever is contained in the Asset list after confirming the things listed therein,so that we can move past this inconsequential debate over nothing.

he is following the crash programme of lai-i

As usual, nothing to see here. Thetrentonline is a known PDP propaganda media outlet.

This government has been consistent in one thing: double dealing!

How many times have they made a decision and rescinded, it's a very terrible trait any serious minded leader would exhibit

PMB should stop telling the world he's incapable of leading this nation because the only thing he has been consistent about is personal vendetta instead of getting down to fulfilling all the promises he made during the campaign period

i am a pro buhari ,not necessariy apc,but i align with u on dis,adesinas' performance is far below expectation,coming from a reputable background of journalism,i think am disappointed.

please count shehu garba out of this,that guy is not different from olisah metuselah and doyin 'bastard' okupe.

buhari should fire dem both,cos they are already a bunch incompetent image makers to d president,and i suggest he appoints the LEGENDARY ABDULAIH MUHAMMED,THE PDP SLAYER.

These yoruba talkatives will destroy any credibility left in this buhari's administration.
The likes of okupe and femi fani kayode practically made jonathan's govt a joke, and now they are transferring that same sickness to buhari's administration.

No wonder,your moniker says it all.Dead zone...yuk.Being competent is for Adesina to own up for PMB even if PMB says otherwise...Dead zone indeed.Pls,assuming you are PA to BOBAKU and he tells you that when his 'enemies' come looking for him,you should tell them that he is not in,what are you going to tell his 'enemies' when they come calling?
I am sure that your competency will overcome your brain and you would tell them that BOBAKU is inside for them to crucify... DEADZONE indeed...shior.
