Special Adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina on Thursday slammed Nigerians for only criticising the Buhari-led administration, adding that they didn’t celebrate monumental successes of the government in areas such as infrastructure, economy and others, IgbereTV reports
In an article titled “Negative comments are part of insecurity”, the presidential aide stressed that negative comments from the opposition about the performance of the government are themselves part of the insecurity ravaging the country.
According to him, when negative things happen, the opposition pretends to be sympathizing with the government. But their choice of words gives them out. “They are what the Good Book calls ‘miserable comforters’”, he said.
He accused Nigerians of taking delight from the bad happenings in the country, noting that insecurity in Nigeria is seasonal and exaggerated.
He wrote: “But fair? The word doesn’t seem to exist in the dictionary of some Nigerians who want you to perpetually believe that ‘worsening insecurity’ is the only thing happening in the country. They never talk of the Second Niger Bridge. Loko-Owoeto Bridge. Bodo-Bonny road. Lagos-Ibadan Expressway. Airports. Rail revolution. Fertilizer availability. Rice and maize pyramids. And many others
