Esq., National Coordinator, Concerned Advocates for Good Governance (CAGG), Olusegun Bamgbose, has faulted Femi Adesina, the Media Adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari for criticizing former President Olusegun Obasanjo.
According to Femi Adesina, Obasanjo is not innocent of the current insecurity situation as he contributed with his actions and inactions adding that he should mind his utterances.
Bamgbose has stated that Adesina’s attack on Obasanjo is uncalled for and does not augur well for the Buhari administration.
Bamgbose said: “When has it become a crime to show concern for the wellbeing of his nation. Before the 2015 Presidential elections, Femi Adesina was using the Daily Sun to lambast Jonathan and educate Nigerians on the need to bring Buhari on board as President,”
“Reuben Abati who was Media Aide to Jonathan then never for once asked him to keep quiet. The same applied to when Buhari with others protested and asked Jonathan to resign for his inability to curb the wave of insecurity.
“Femi Adesina should have known that Obasanjo is a more well-grounded Nationalist than Buhari. He is far more detribalized than Buhari.
“His administration was a hundred times better than that of Buhari. Obasanjo remains the best Nigeria President that created an enabling environment for the empowerment of youths.
“He brought in GSM that has helped in employing and empowering millions of our youths in the country. Obasanjo is more committed to the unity of Nigeria than Buhari.
“Buhari won’t have had the opportunity of becoming the President without the tacit support of Obasanjo. One will urge Buhari to caution his Aides.
“How old was Femi Adesina when the civil war broke out in 1967 that he seems to know more of what happened? What gut did he have to caution Obasanjo? Let him watch his utterances because his days are numbered in the State House.”
