Many Nigerians Will Hide Their Face In Shame When President Buhari Returns – Femi Adesina

Special adviser on media and publicity to President Muhammadu Buhari, Femi Adesina, says when he returns to Nigeria “filthy dreamers” who “despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.” will hide their face in shame.


In a piece on Friday, Adesina said there are evil wishers, the hate monger, and those who spend their days conjecturing tragedy for leadership.

He said as spokesman of the president, he would never respond to such people.

“President Buhari has been indisposed since the beginning of the year. It is human, and presidents, despite their elevated status, remain human,” Adesina wrote.
“If there is anybody who considers himself 100 percent healthy, or who bears what William Shakespeare calls ‘a charmed life’, let that person stand up to be identified. All mortals are doomed to sickness, they can recover, and they can die.
“That is the truth that has been internalised by millions of people praying for the recovery of our President. And that is where the shallowness, vacuousness, and hollowness of people who wish the President dead, and carry unfounded rumours, is on stark display.“Filthy dreamers. They speak evil of dignities, and despise dominion. But we forgive them, for they know not what they do. When President Buhari returns (as God would make him do) where would they hide their faces? In shame.”
He likened Shimei, a character in the Bible, to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), whom he described as “evil wishers” who spend “their days conjecturing tragedy for leadership”.
“David had succeeded Saul as king of Israel. And Shimei was from the family of Saul (read, People’s Democratic Party, PDP). Shimei hadn’t forgotten the bloody nose the family of Saul got, when the kingship was taken away from them, and given to David. So when the latter got into a time of travail, no pity at all from people still smarting from bloody noses,” Adesina said.
“The All Progressives Congress (APC), inspired by Muhammadu Buhari, halted the 60-year pipe dream of PDP at the polls in 2015. Has the latter forgotten? No, they won’t forget till forever.
“But so much is the animus, the antipathy towards the president that they wish him dead. While millions of Nigerians are praying, some elements are rejoicing, and imagining evil. But they forget: man is not God, and Jehovah always has the final say. The descendants of Shimei need to learn vital lessons from their forebear.
“President Buhari has tolerated people who have called him all sorts of names in the past two years. If he didn’t move against them directly, he could have allowed many Abishais to move against them, ‘and take off their heads.’
“But not our president, a reformed democrat, a pious man, who has resolved to leave the people suffused by hatred unto God.”
