Nobody is talking about jungle justice here my friend.

If Adedayo is truly competent, he should wait for Atiku, Saraki and other PDP rogues that he supported to get into government. Those are the people he believed and trusted. Why work for a government whose agenda you have ridiculed severally?

Blainz:
He was never neutral,he chose side and should stand by that side

seunmsg:
He was not neutral. He supported Atiku in the last election. It is only normal for those who toiled day and night to get Buhari re-elected to protest such appointments. After the last US election, Trump was very disposed to appointing Mitt Romney as Secretary of State but members of his transition committee stood strongly against the appointment because Romney never supported Trump. That is how it is everywhere in the world. Elected officials must bring on board to assist them only people who shared in their vision.

So I posted the topic without reading it?

Guess you didn't notice I was the OP

OGHENAOGIE:
do they know anything...bringing useless logic of you cannot work for mtn and this etisalat... the man was Just doing his job as a critical journalist.... it's like when Man Utd wanted to employ mourinho and some folks were looking at his attitude and mourinho told them he his mourinho despite they told him to sign a behavioral attitude he refuse and still got the job....here is a man who has worked with pdp nnamani and apc ajimobi how is he partisan... it's a shame that lawan allowed some unscrupulous element to railroad him..like u said they have helped his image grow more

ryloy:
Has Festus Adedayo criticised PDP , Saraki and Atiku this year?

OGHENAOGIE:
shows you are clown then if you can't give a decent review

OGHENAOGIE:
leave them they fail to understand that the Senate president is not for apc alone...he was even voted by both pdp and apc and I wonder the useless logic of they campaign for him as in how...were they d ones who convinced the lawmakers to vote lawan

respect80:
They have forgotten already that it took both PDP and APC lawmakers to vote him as the SP

tunjilana:
U said u are not a fan of "Establishment" ... yet you wanna go into it....stay a critic Bro...U can b on two divides

OGHENAOGIE:
lawan failed his first test of standing his ground... let's see how he conduct himself

seunmsg:
You’re the slowpoke my friend. He changed his mind due to pressure from within the same way Ahmed Lawan changed his mind and chose not to appoint Festus again.

Ayed44:
Two things are clear here:

1. Senator Lawan exposed himself as a weak man for withdrawing an appointment he voluntarily and personally made. I pity Nigeria for having such a weak man as the Senate President.

2. Festus Adedayo has himself to blame. He is a staunch critic of Buhari and he should not have accepted the appointment from Senator Lawan, knowing fully well that Lawan is now Buhari's house boy. His quest for appointment allowed him to be dragged in the mud.

GoodGovernance:
Rubbish.

So you would have taken the job, abandon your law school and also continue to criticize the APC government,abi?

It is obvious your critisms were just for attention and political appointment

What a hypocrite!

oduademonest:
Typical idiot Nigerian. Continue to wallow in your stupidity. Why interview mitt Romney if the "inner caucus" were against mitt Romney. Think a little. You were not there and you don't live in the US. slowpoke!!!

usmanniya:
After reading Festus Adedayo's account of his aborted appointment, I have now realised how shameless some people can be. Few days after bashing the process that produced Ahmad Lawan as Senate president, our guy was already in Ahmad Lawan's office for interview as media spox.

At his age and 'qualifications', he has to grovel before a man whose party and politics he consistently condemned. There are many opportunists like Festus who lurk around conflating their hustle with activism. I know of one 'young' presidential candidate in the last elections who is pushing his CV to a senior government official for job but will come on this platform and 'be forming woke.'

Our man now says the reversal is a blessing in disguise as he will now be able concentrate on his law school. The fact that he was willing to forego his law school education (with just two months to graduate) in order to take an appointment with the 'devils' he condemned speaks volumes about his desperation for the new job. He must be in 'severe pain' now!

I understand that the economy is harsh and I was reminded that people of Festus' age have school fees to pay and house rents to settle, together with many endless bills. But if you choose to take a career in government criticism, stay on your lane. You cannot condemn the devil in the morning and appear at his dining table in the evening.

abayomilaws:
Yes, it is an act that is inconsistent with the council of legal education Act, and Nigerian Law school regulation .. He is not just studying law, he is a student of the Nigerian law school that has just that rules... You must be a full time student with total class/ externship attendance before you will be fit and proper to be called to the bar.

ba7man:
They've already pulled him out of the Senate so the rest is irrelevant.

He should go back to opposing APC as he's always done.

You can't work for MTN and collect salary from Etisalat.

respect80:
So who is the Mtn and who is the Etisalat in this case?

The man was just being nailed for standing neutral. He already confirmed that he was given the appointment based on merit after an interview session with Lawan.

One thing I strongly believe is that APC has just succeeded in making him even more popular.

You can take this post to the bank as we await what the future holds for him...

Such a talented writer deserves more.

Smart people chang their minds all the time. New information came to light that Lawan didn't have when he hired him. Based on the new information, Festus Dodoyo's position became untenable, so he was fired. That does not make Ahmed Lawan weak.

It shows that Ahmed Lawan is a cerebral person who believes in superior argument. Either way, Festus Dodoyo has moved on, you need to move on as well.

As chief of staff to the Senate president, you are working for the Nigerian people. Every good Nigerian has an obligation to heed the call to serve the motherland when called. That is what Festus did. Stop taking things personal. This is not Festus vs Lawan or Festus vs Buhari.

Remember, evil thrives when good people do nothing. You can only effect change from the inside. He did nothing wrong by accepting the offer.

They don't feel that he is the right fit because of his criticism, no biggie.

respect80:
No wonder some said he was obviously backed by the presidency to become the SP because he would be easier to manipulate due to his indecisive characteristic.

His action in this matter has obviously uphold those assertions.

He will now feel the heat of the seat and come to realization that being the SP isn't as easy as it seems...

It's a position which directly places someone's integrity and intellect on a public scale for all to see.

At the end of this administration, it will be very difficult for him and APC e-rats to reconcile with their conscience for the misfortune they have caused this country. And that's if they still have their conscience intact.

Abeg, you guys should carry your neutral online activists and go.

Go and collect your appointments from Atiku.

seunmsg:
Guy is just a clown. This silly attempt at damage control is dead on arrival. You are down already. APC supporters only dragged you into the mud where you rightly belong. Only men of very low morals who lacks principles and integrity goes about lobbying a government they criticize so much for an appointment.
