The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, has faulted those demanding that the President, Maj.Gen Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), addresses Nigerians on the COVID-19 pandemic.

Adesina said this in an article titled, ‘If you can’t take blows brother, don’t throw blows’, which was posted on his Facebook page.

He said if it were former President Olusegun Obasanjo that was still in power, he would have insulted those calling on him to address them.

Adesina was reacting to the criticisms he received from a large section of Nigerians over his outing during a programme on 95.1 Nigeria Info FM Abuja.

Many Nigerians slammed Adesina for saying the fact that they voted for Buhari didn’t give them the right to order him around.

Apparently, Adesina needs to see a psychiatrist. He seems to be losing his marbles.

1. Femi Adesina's mention of Obasanjo's name is unnecessary, unprofessional and likely to generate avoidable controversy.

2. The truth is GIFT OF THE GAB is not Pres. Buhari's forte. It is only a big fool who would open up his flanks for unnecessary attacks by displaying his weaknesses rather then amplifying his strengths. That's the simple reason why Paul of defunct Psquare group would dance less and sing more in their heyday.

3. Having sworn to uphold the constitution of Federal Republic of Nigeria, there is no where it is specified in the constitution the mode through the president should communicate to Nigerians. It is left to the president to decide. So Pres. Buhari has committed no constitutional breach by adopting address rather than interactive chat.

4. If eloquence during presidential chats is a key criteria for excellent leadership, then the past leaders wouldn't have left Nigeria as degenerated and violated inspite of our oil-rich status.

5. Most young Nigerians are too emotional and often do shadow-chasing, overlooking the substance. Suave and smooth talking leaders excite us and they smartly use our feel-good state to ride on us as they smile to foreign banks.

I don't think Trump is as eloquent as Obama but he still speaks and interacts with Americans more often. Admitted he makes lots of blunders and enemies by doing so but NOBODY can accuse him of not speaking and interacting with the people that gave him the job.
Buhari doesn't have much to talk about because doing so will expose the emptiness and lies of his govt.
For example, they said we won't pay electricity bill for April but we got the bill's. If he's asked such question, what do you want him to say?

The arrogance of our leaders towards the masses is unprecedented, they control the masses like robbot, when questions are thrown to them on vague issues all they do is throw tantrums, i wonder when our leaders will become accountable to the masses.

It's obvious that Femi Adesina has lost his senses. So Apc has now started shifting their blame games from GEJ to OBJ.
OBJ is not a saint but trust me, he is 1000% better than that lifeless illiterate vegetable we have in Aso-Rock in terms of leadership.
THE FACT THAT FEMI IS NOW ATTACKING OBJ HIS ELDER & KINSMAN INORDER TO DEFEND HIS FULANI PAYMASTERS IS THE HIGHEST OF HIS MADNESS.
Kinsman radarada WO? Shey they curse you Igbo people with this kinsman nonsense you like shouting up and down as if you don't kill each other for land and even money? We don't do kinsmen here, we are all mutually exclusive of everyone except our immediate family members. If someone messes up according to our PERSONAL point of view, we clear them straight, all this kinsman nonsense is inexistent to us in yorubaland.

Come it off and be real....
Buhari has no leadership or management strength that qualifies him to be the president of a heterogeneous nation like nigeria....
His narrow mindedness, nepotism, cronyism, rigidity, disdain for rule of law n below par intelligence has resulted in a deeply divided Nigeria fractured along ethnic lines....
Nigerian had never been this tribal conscious since the civil war....
Thanks to buhari.....

It's true. During Obasanjo time, he doesn't need any spokesperson. He personally and savagely replied anybody that insulted him.

The reply he gave Eldris Remedy Jagajaga was Epic.

"How can someone say that his country is jagajaga? Na your father be jagajaga! Na your mother be jagajaga!"

Hahahahaha!...OBJ!

kiss

I don't like insulting leaders but don't know what to do with these incompetent backward unceremonious people especially this Femi.

His mouth stinks and his word's stench can cause uproar in a market place like Oyigbo market.

Has he seen anyone to remind him how efficient , up-to-date, brash in all aspects and how prompt Obj was?

Obj would even not wait for people to talk before he would address us.

He is that pragmatic. The man even loved be heard always. He loved the press alot.

Did Femi remember that Obj started the town Hall monthly meetings where major stations of the TVs and Radios would transmit it live, where all the the FEC especially the ministers and sometimes Govs would meet and give us updates on the goings. He would fondly call them by their portfolios. E.g Agric.

Some state govs like Olagunsoye Oyinlola, Fayose In the South even borrowed same lieqves in their respective states.

Femi has no more wisdom required of a leader left in him. He is blinded and tired. Suffering from work's pressure hallucinations!

If Femi insult you back now u will start crying.

U don't need to explain much. I already know that kinsman nonsense is nonexistent in Yoruba land. That is why you always betray & sell yourselves to your enemies to slaughter. A common Yoruba trait & more common amongst Yoruba Muslims. Afonja comes to my mind.
