Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, says former President Olusegun Obasanjo contributed to the current chaos in the country, adding that the ex-military general should mind his utterances.

He stated this on Friday in a piece titled, ‘Nigeria’s Unity And All The Iberiberism’.

Adesina wrote,“The sabre-rattling about Nigeria’s unity and the possibility of disintegration has got to the point of Iberiberism (a bastardised Igbo word which could mean stupidity). Some people have no other business than doomsday predictions of a crumbled, collapsed Nigeria, as if they actually fast and pray for that eventuality.

“When Chief Olusegun Obasanjo was President between 1999 and 2007, they predicted that he was going to be the last President of a united Nigeria. It didn’t happen. When Umaru Yar’Adua came, they said he was too sick to hold Nigeria together. The country stood.

“Under Goodluck Jonathan, they said the man was too weak, and different components of the country would soon say, ‘to your tents oh Israel.’ Nigeria survived. And for six years under Muhammadu Buhari, they have not changed their songs. The Somaliasation of Nigeria was on the way. The Fulanisation of the country would be the final death knell. But Nigeria lives. It trudges on from day to day, month to month, and will surely survive.”

Adesina said though some people dwell on negativity, “some fathers of the land will not fold their hands and see Nigeria go down”.

“Fortunately, we have one of them as President now. The young Muhammadu Buhari spent 30 months in the frontlines as a young army officer, fighting the war of unity. And he has said it: we will not be around and watch Nigeria go down. Never. We will rather speak to insurrectionists in the language they understand.

“And what of Olusegun Obasanjo, a civil war hero. Despite all that he has contributed to the current upheavals by his actions and inactions, words and bile, he says it is idiotic to wish Nigeria disintegration now. Good. But let us put our money where our mouth is. Let Baba mind his thoughts, and his language ,” the presidential spokesman added.

“Nigeria will survive. The polity will endure. And the component parts will live together in amity and brotherhood. Any other option is Iberiberism,” he concluded.

Obasanjo, a military head of state from February 1976 to September 1979, was Nigeria’s democratically elected president between May 1999 and May 2007.

Hmmm. I think the title is not decent enough.
However, HE Pa Obasanjo still remiains the only President of SW extraction that punished a SW Lagos State in opposition by withholding our Local government funds for years until a Fulani man (Late HE Musa Yardua) of same PDP became the President and released our LGA funds. That's one of the ways posterity will remember the tenure of Pa Obasanjo.visit www.freestuffsng.com for latest freestuffs in Nigeria. God bless Nigeria.

APC and presidency sometimes act like they didn't play opposition or don't think they would ever go back their

Which mouth would any APC person have to play opposition of PDP take over ?

Would they ever protest ?

This is overstatement coming from over feeding pig
What do you know about Nigeria, you know than Obasanjo?
Obasanjo is ex service men
Obasanjo went for peace keeping in Congo Crisis seria lone Liberian and Nigerian Civil War.
Obasanjo is a deputy military head of state
Obasanjo is a head of state
Obasanjo is a former president of Nigeria
Obasanjo was elected president of Ecowas
Obasanjo was elected president of AU
Obasanjo is a president of world former president
Obasanjo has 3 wives and several concubines
Obasanjo is a farmer
The same Obasanjo appointed efulefu Buhari has a minister of petroleum resources. Femi what do you know about life you are not intelligent than this man you are not more expose than him, you dont have experience than him.

2023 is around d corner, inshallah we go read your epistles after buhari demise.

What took them this late to reply Obasanjo?

Are they still rehearsing the response to Soyinka on his interview with Arise TV?

Adesina will see the light after Buhari's tenure and I hope it won't be too late.

This ass-kisser called Adesina should keep quiet, wether he and his cohorts likes it or not
Nigeria is a sinking ship.

Adesina we know that you are working for your money but do it with your sense because buhari will not be in power forever o.

The only thing worse than Buhari and his supporters is death....

God punish Buhari and his supporters

This guy said absolutely nothing .

100%

The depleted leaking Afonja mouth defending his useless master has left his leaking mouth open again.That he contributed to the woes eroding the country now has nothing to telling your senile master to make it better than he met the economy not worst.
Obasanjo has feats your drunken dead master could never achieve even if given a third tenure. Rubbish and Adesina

Don’t worry, wait and see that obasanjo and don’t prostrate flat on the floor like you Yorubas do “worships greetings” and see if your black dot bum bum won’t be wiped.

Adeshina the proverbial fly

Hmmm

wahala!

Femi Adesina is good for nothing and always sounds foolish.

Where was he in 2015 when Obasanjo was appointed as Chief navigator by the APC

When a horse is about to fall, he will not see any reason to jump across the pit digged before him, instead his sturborn heart will even make him to do scissors skill into the pit. A blind man will always walk as a blind walks, even if you clear the road he will want to enter the bush. Buhari and his co. Will be shock when their cup is full, then they will know that power belongs to the people, by the people and for the people.

All of them na same

The same OBJ that couldn't build a single road in his State? Infact, the road to his village and Ota farms are in terrible state.

OBJ
GEJ
PMB


All of them are failure! Shameless People!

Look for one article where you will see Garba Shehu write to insult a Northerner… probably none

But you see Femi Adesina, he is a typical idiot.

Mr Adesina I know you're on NL. Incase you dey read this you're a very stupid fool. Fulani asslicking mUdafVcka. Omo ale jatijati.


Make sure you follow bubu to katsina after una evil regime end. Very useless unexposed man

Honestly, Ade-shoe-shiner is actually right to some extent. Because it was OBJ"s support for the dundee from Katsina to become president that is increasing the worsening situation in Niger-area.
OBJ's tearing of his PDP membership card really boosted the dullard's chances of being a president.

Rubbish

At the bolded, he knows whats right from whats not, he's just foolishly following whatever the cabal wants from him. He's a slave to them, just like the vice president and Lai. If they say otherwise, surrounded by the cabals and their minions, they're history.

Just pray and fast for him and his family because something says he's not safe anywhere in the South after he's done licking the cabals' butts in this tenure.

The only thing this useless junta knows how to do is threaten even those who give the best of advises. Useless fools in power, they never ever own up to their mistakes that has plunged this country into the road of perdition. Their day will come soon

Adesina is behaving like his stay in Aso rock will not come an end someday.

How would he earn his living if he keeps quiet?
It's part of his Job or he loses the job
