The Presidency, on Tuesday, says the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), will be a talkative if he speaks on every matter including the herdsmen crisis.

Femi Adesina, the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the President, spoke on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme monitored by The PUNCH.

Many Nigerians including Nobel Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, had urged the President to address Nigerians and make it known publicly that he does not support the criminal activities of some herdsmen in parts of the country.

Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, had also called for the enactment of a law to abolish the movement of cattle by herdsmen from the Northern part of the country to other parts in order to prevent the incessant herdsmen-farmers clashes rocking parts of the country.

When asked about the reaction of the President on the idea suggested by Ganduje, Adesina said, “When you have knotty issues like this, many ideas will be proffered, many solutions will be canvassed. The President does not have to speak on each and every one of them.

“He does not have to, it was just an idea being proffered. It should be looked into and then if it is a consensus, it should be adopted. But it is not as one idea comes the President speaks on it, another idea comes, the President speaks on it, such must be a talkative President.”

The South-West region has been in the eye of the storm lately over the activities of gun-wielding herdsmen who kidnap, kill, rape, and destroy farmlands in Yorubaland with impunity.
‌
Many Nigerians including Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State and a leader of the Yoruba socio-political group, Afenifere, Chief Ayo Adebanjo, had spoken against the killer herdsmen who move about with AK-47 rifles while private citizens are denied of ammunition to protect themselves.

However, speaking on Tuesday, Adesina said the position of Buhari has always been that anybody who bears arms unlawfully should be arrested and tried.

“His (Buhari’s) position has always been that anybody that bears arms unlawfully should be arrested and tried irrespective of where he comes from,” the presidential aide said, adding that the country must explore the option of ranching to solve the herdsmen crisis at hand.

Adesina also said contrary to claims by critics, “hundreds” of criminal herders have been arrested and tried in the past.

When you dine with the devil, you inherit a demon

According to Femi Adesina, Nigerians are not worth addressing on a crucial security matter by Buhari.

Lol, make una go sort una self says the president.

hahaha nofin wah ear no go hear

Now femi, it seems you have lost the centrifuge for reasonable rejoinder as the spokesperson of the president.

Take a look at Trump, Biden, even Putin, and ask yourself whether this folks don't spend considerable time relating with the massess. Does that make them loquacious? Realize a true president is first and foremost a civil servant.

If the president lacks the charisma or even intellect to address the Nigerian populace, he should delegate that role to his VP who is more fluent and confident. It is also part of the role of the VP to do this.

Have the president ever held a live press conference before? Where journalists throw questions his way.

Now I really sense there may be some truism about the conspiracy theory of an alleged cloning.

Seriously, femi, if you're reading this. This your particular stance have nailed the coffin as the worst spokeperson.

Being a talkative is part of his job. 200 million people needs to know what he is doing.

If not I no longer insult people, I would have said that this Femi has lost common sense and now talks like a f00l

With all due respect, this is our VP present situation........

Whao! Does this so called "presidency" fully knows this implication of this silly and reckless statement? Still affirming it is a wicked conspiracy of silence.When will this government be accountable and responsible for once? Issue like this tends to fuels the Jibril imposter allegation.

No wonder the lifeless vegetable have been keeping quiet while his murderous brothers are just annihilating others in their ethno-religious supremacist agenda?

How can a president who claimed it is irresponsible of it to keep quiet when bandits/terrorists maim and kill people be the first to defend & rationalise the murderous atrocities of these criminal elements? Nigerians do you still need further evidence that you're being rule by terrorists?

Same Femi Adeshina that said "addressing Nigerian is not Buhari's style".? "That is always sticking his neck out for the reputation laundering of despotic Buhari. He breaks all boundaries of custom and traditional morality when lying on behalf of Buhari. He dismisses the opinions of well-meaning Nigerians on how Nigeria is governed by Buhari.Adesina always give needless pains to sensitive national issues...."

Or the same that shamelessly said "It would be better for those that were oppose to cattle ranching to provide lands than to die in the herdsmen’s attacks.What would the land be used for if those who own it are dead at the end of the day?...." http://saharareporters.com/2020/04/23/deacon-femi-adesina-shameless-sanballat-bayo-oluwasanmi

A kind of "..Living in this world without leaving your footprint on it...." (Bohemian philosophy). situation.So sad! Too bad.

They have taken lessons on how a presidency should stand neutral on such delicate matters..

But he won't be when he speaks on IPOB matter

Something this serious is not worth his contribution? This conspiracy of silence from the higher-ups is a big shame. To say that Femi Adesina himself is from the SW and has probably lost an extended family member to this killer herders is a bigger shame

how do we even get to this point self

very useless set of people

But he did as opposition and did often. What changed? Change I guess.

But he will not be talkative to commissariat with every nation that have small little issue, if a citizen of niger republic have a running stomach he will comment an profer a solution, but in Nigeria even if a whole town is wiped out, he will never comment,

Damage control government
Explain this explain that
They will never face the truth but always find who to blame and how to defend their incompetent leaders.

Lol... This Femi is a big fat fool.. Does buhari even care? A man that does not speak with the media or to Nigerians,a man that is always forced and given a pre-recorded speech.. Femi is only doing his job anyway.

E shock una?

Heh heh..

But it won't be a talkative when it's comes to party matters and cow matters.

God punish devil

Until Nigerians start maiming these useless politicians, they will never stop taking us for a ride

This man is useless and unfortunate

Why then do we have him as the president...

He even blocked the comments section, on twitter.. WHAT A DADDY WE HAVE

But he gets his energy to talk immediately people stand up and fight back the Fulani's? Evil people in government.

When last has the president spoken without reading from a prepared speech.

Buhari have nothing to say
He's depressed
His wife left him for dead

Die motherfucker die
She says she says

This is the kind of statements you get from vagabonds in power.

The president will be a talkative if he speaks on every matters, but always ready to get shocked on any killings perpetrated by so called herdsmen, bandits and boko haram elements.

This government is full of bunkum if the President fail to speak about the crisis affecting the peaceful cohabitation of her citizens i wonder what he's doing there as President then, fulls everywhere.

It is in Bubus tenure w started hearing the presidency.

who is the presidency, bikonu?

Yoruba Ronu O, your son has spoken.
The 'royal' fathers in this gang up can't even sleep with their two eyes closed in their domain, we warned them but they threatened to sink us in the Lagoon. Good morning and Yoruba Ronu.

Just defend me and get paid
