Seun Kuti has called out Femi Adesina, Special Adviser, Media and Publicity to President Muhammadu Buhari over his statements on the impact of Buhari’s rule on Nigeria.
Femi Adesina on May 29th took to social media to celebrate President Buhari’s five years in power and applauded the President for making the country better.
In a post he made on Instagram, he wrote,
“President Buhari completes the first year of a second four-year term today. And despite it all, in spite of all the challenges; insecurity, poor economy, deliberate sabotage, poor health at a time, evil wishes from some quarters, foul language, and all sorts, we are glad he is here.
When he rode triumphantly to power in 2015, the average Nigerian was tired of the state of the country. Massive looting of the treasury by the party in government and no one was being called to order because there was no moral will to do it. Terrible insecurity in the country, with at least 17 local governments already annexed in the North-east of the country by insurgents.
They had planted flags of a funny type of caliphate and were sitting in palaces of the emirs, who had shown clean pairs of heels. Do you blame them? Towns, cities, villages, mosques, churches, schools, motor parks had become killing fields, and the slaughter was simply horrifying. Yet, the government was helpless. The economy was nosediving, indeed, primed for recession.
Humongous amounts made from oil, which price rose as high as 143 dollars per barrel the previous year, had been stolen. No investment in infrastructure, agriculture, education, healthcare, nothing. Debts were even piling up, and the government was borrowing to pay salaries.
There was no willingness to save, a key driver of the economy confessed later about that government. So, when Buhari came in, it was to meet a looted, badly vandalized treasury. We’re glad he came our way, I repeat again.”
Seun Kuti reacting to his statement asked him to elaborate on the achievement he claims Buhari has done as they are not visible.
