Femi-Adesina



The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, on Thursday, said there is no way President Muhammadu Buhari, can pass a vote of no confidence on all youths.

The presidential spokesman said this in response to the criticism that trailed the statement credited to Buhari on Wednesday, at the Commonwealth Business Forum in London, where he reportedly said many Nigerian youths are uneducated, not ready to work and depend on oil revenue to survive.

Adesina in a statement posted on his Facebook page a few minutes ago said,

“There is no way President Buhari, father of the Nigerian nation in every sense of the word, who equally has biological children of his own in the youths age bracket, pass a vote of no confidence on all youths.

“It can only exist in the imagination of those who play what the President has described as “irresponsible politics” with everything.”

Adesina said the president has always applauded and celebrated Nigerian youths who excel in different areas of endeavour, from sports, to academia, and other realms.

He said Buhari will continue to celebrate them, because he values the youths, and knows that they are the fulcrum on which the future of the country rests.

Adesina in his statement quoted President Buhari to have said,

“President Buhari had cause to talk about some Nigerian youths, and he said: “We have a very young population; our population is estimated conservatively to be 180 million. More than 60 per cent of the population is below the age of 30.

A lot of them have not been to school and they are claiming that Nigeria has been an oil producing country, therefore they should sit and do nothing and get housing, healthcare and education free.”

The presidential spokesman, who accusation said, “typical of their stock in trade, manipulators and twisters of statements of Mr President, who lie in wait to make mischief, interpreted the comment to mean that President Buhari had taken all Nigerian youths to the cleaners.”
