Twitter Users Blast Presidential Aide, Femi Adesina For Saying ‘Nigerians Are Lucky To Have A President Like Buhari’
Femi Adesina, Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to President Buhari, has come under attack for saying Nigerians are lucky to have a leader like the president.
He made the statement on Twitter while dismissing attempts to pitch him against the president.
Adesina said he believes in the President’s ideology as a Buharist, regardless of public opinion.
The presidential spokesman also maintained that Buhari is leading Nigeria well.
In a post on his Twitter account, Adesina wrote:
A quote from mischief-makers is making the rounds, ascribed to me. I just laugh. I am a Buharist any day, no apologies, and I believe the president is leading the country well. In fact, we are lucky to have him at a time like this. All attempts to demonize me will fail.
But many Nigerians on Twitter have heavily criticised the presidential aide for his comments.

A manager took Nigeria into recession in 83/84, 16/17 and heading for another one in 20/21,
not forgetting how Nigeria overtakes India as headquarter of extreme poverty in 2018 under his watch & one Femi Adesina said we are lucky to have that manager,

Mr Femi Adesina said Nigerians are lucky to have Buhari at a time like this, but Google said we aren’t lucky at all because Buhari has made Nigeria the headquarter for extreme poverty.
Which country is the World headquarter for extreme poverty?

The attitude of a typical Nigerian is such that when they are benefiting from a system, they careless about others. They go any length to praise their pay masters even when they are not performing. I don’t think you should be surprised with what Femi Adesina said.

Nigeria,Femi Adesina said we are ‘lucky’ to have the dinasourial disaster…….
Maybe we should be focusing on other things other than ‘Luck’
Because if this constitutes ‘lucky’
Obviously we should be seeking to be ‘unlucky’ next time…— Portharcourt 2nd Son (@Polymat43955419) May 27, 2020

Mr Femi, it is insulting to say Nigerians are lucky to have a president that has been a complete failure and whose cardinal objective is the prosecution of northern hegemony. I give up on you!
A day of reckoning awaits all of you working for Buhari and deceiving Nigerians

Wait! @FemAdesina, which is better?
1. The President is leading the country well 💪
2. ”I believe” the president is leading the country well🙆— #DrElmoAtiku A. Psy.D. (@Drelmoatiku) May 26, 2020
You cant speak for the citizens, perhaps yourself alone. Doubt anyone outside the largesse of this govt will agree with you. Do a poll if you think youre in a team taking this country anywhere

Welldone Buhari Boy! Ooin, you are doing well.
For your information, we don’t care about you either…. It would better if you can change your name to Mustafa Mohammed.
Well done Sir. 🏋️♂️

I believe the President is leading the country well says Femi Adeshina,
1) He’s not so sure about Buhari’s leadership,
2) Despite this man enormous powers, he appears on Twitter to descant a gossip with a friend.
3) No wonder Buhari is his hero, very unfortunate. pic.twitter.com/XqI01bEu5Q— John-Ezeakolam (@JohnEzeakolam) May 26, 2020
There’s no problem being a buharist for eternity, but to say that the President is leading the country well is a clear case of someone speaking from his stomach…

Dear Femi, no one is demonizing you, your remarks and violent outburst toward Nigerians, are responsible for what you see on social media. There’s a unanimity of views when it comes to your lack of integrity and sycophancy.
Please, do a self-evaluation.#RedefineNigeria

……my simple prayer for Egbon Femi is , may his life ,that of his children and his generation be lead by God the same way and manner that Buhari is leading Nigeria
