NEWSPresidency blasts Nigerians for condemning Buhari’s documentary amid fuel scarcity Published on December 24, 2017 By Wale Odunsi

Nigerian presidency has lambasted Nigerians for attacking it over a TV documentary about President Muhammadu Buhari.

Many Nigerians say the timing of the film was to launder the image of the president at a time they are infuriated by the scarcity of petrol.

Entitled ‘The Human Side of President Buhari’, the 55-minute documentary put together by the Media and Publicity department of the State House portrays the President “in a light that majority of Nigerians have not seen him”.

This documentary will air on the Network Service of the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) on Sunday, December 24 and Tuesday December 26, 2017.

It will also air on Channels Television on Monday, December 25, 2017 (Christmas Day) between 8 and 9pm on the days and stations mentioned.

In a statement on Sunday, presidential spokesman, Femi Adesina, lambasted Nigerians criticising the timing of the documentary.

He said those condemning the idea have no pastime, and will complain against God if they “mistakenly” make heaven.

His statement read: “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 p.m 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 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 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.”

How does it affect the price of Fuel in the market.

My own opinion

Just looking�☺☺� equating God with mortals

Looking for flimsy reasons to equate buhari with God

Just like Reuben Abati, Femi Adesina is a disappointment....only that he is much worse.
---
Always making comments that shows he is so disconnected from the Nigerian reality. Trying to trivialise what Nigerians are going through is wrong on all levels.
---
Just like Okukpe and Abati who kept thinking their principal was still popular and that Buhari was "Perpetually Unelectable", Adesina and his minions will soon be hit with a stark reality.
---
Power truly corrupts!

These people are taking Nigerians for a ride because they know we are cowards and online warriors.

I regret being a citizen of this useless country.

Buhari is the definition of failure. He should get ready to pack his things and go to his farm in Daura.

Now this Femi Adesina must be smoking some very dangerous substance. This is the height of blasphemy, how dare him try to bring God down to the level of a very vile disgusting character like Buhari really nauseating.

Foolishness! He even likened the failed man to King Lear! The men feasting on Buhari's balls are liquid. How do you go beyond the limits of failure? Simple. Just add Buhari.

This administration is filled with very daft people like their principal.

People must criticised whether constructive or destructive. Proof to them that you aren't what they say by doing the right thing and not condemning those that criticise you.

Criticism brings out the best in someone except you don't have anything to offer just like the Dullard of Aso Rock who have brought untold hardship to an unprecedented level since he became President of this country.

If this headline actually came from the presidency, then those involved will not finish their tenure in peace. How dare you compare your wickedness to God's immeasurable wisdom and love!

Lol we knew Buhari a failure in the military had Notin to present
