Many Nigerians have been in
tears since the beginning of this year. Many Nigerian families are in mourning,
and mass burials are ongoing. On the other hand, The Special Adviser to the
President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina is busy digging deep to
defend the president’s inability to live up to his responsibility.
In a video he posted on his
Facebook page, the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr.
Femi Adesina insisted that the recent spate of killings by herdsmen in parts of
the country had nothing to do with Buhari being Fulani, saying that over 756
people were killed by herdsmen in two years under former President Goodluck
Jonathan, therefore, the killing didn’t start under Buhari.
Making statistical comparisons
of people killed between Jonathan’s administration and that of Buhari shows
that Aso Rock is indeed filled up with bunch of illiterates. How can he even
make such comparisons at this time?
President Buhari is not a child
and before he came back into power he already knows the height of insecurity in
the country. He has been in power before; that means he has got enough experience
that should teach him to be proactive. He came back to power with promises that
he will stop the killings. As an experienced politician and an elderly
Nigerian, his promises only conveyed the message that he has already
pre-planned and mapped out strategies on how to protect Nigerians before
contesting for presidency. That is what Nigerians expect. They expected him to
take over power again adopting proactive measures and not the other way round.
Nigerians don’t expect the flimsy reasons coming from the presidency. They are
rather disappointed because President Buhari has failed to perform all the
magic he promised to perform, which he accused Jonathan countless times of not
performing. He should know better; he ought to have come back to power with solutions
and not flimsy reasons. Is he no longer the strong man he claimed to be that
Jonathan is not?
He should act like the
president and give workable commands that will stop the killings of Nigerians,
even if it is just to reduce it to the barest minimum. We will not all die
before he comes up with a solution that he ought to have entered Aso Rock with
in the first place. His Special Adviser on Media and Publicity should stop
digging for facts to defend the president’s irresponsibility because it makes
him look more stupid than Nigerians think of him.
