Femi Adesina, spokesperson to former President Muhammadu Buhari, yesterday, disclosed that the last administration suffered a lot of propaganda due to the number of enemies around him. VANGUARD reports.
He claimed that some of the enemies that ganged up against Buhari included defeated members of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, a section of the Church, who felt bad because a Christian incumbent President was defeated and some Buhari loyalists, whose expectation was never met.InformationGuideNigeria
Adesina, who spoke at a media chat organised by the Association of Veteran Journalists in Osun State, held in Osogbo, said the former President did not only curb corruption but also fought insecurity to a standstill.
“There were people who naturally were against Buhari’s government from the beginning. I identified three different sets of people that were anti-Buhari. Firstly, the PDP, which is natural, secondly, a part of the Church, who felt the one defeated was Christian, and Buhari is a Muslim.JAMB Portal
So they thought they should use the pulpit to explore evil against the administration and those, who were with Buhari in the beginning but whose expectations were not met and then they crossed over and became enemies with the administration.
“So, all those people, from day one till the end, fought the administration.”JAMB Result
“My biggest challenge during the eight years that I served with President Muhammadu Buhari was the fact that a section of the media deliberately quoted me out of context.NYSC Portal
“I eventually grew out of it and got used to the antics. Even while I had a television interview, it was turned upside down in the papers deliberately to make me an enemy of the public, but I outgrew it and it no longer affected my duty throughout my tenure.”
