Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, on Wednesday said the Nigerian Guild of Editors will respond to allegations made against him by Chairman and editor-in-chief of Thisday newspaper, Nduka Obaigbena.

Obaigbena, who is also the President of the Newspapers Propriators Association of Nigeria (NPAN) had on Monday revealed that the Nigerian Guild of Editors collected N50 million from the Office of the National Security Adviser, in a further widening of the arms purchase scandal.
Since the revelation was made, some Nigerians have been demanding the resignation and interrogation of Adesina , who was the president of the Guild when the payment was allegedly made.

But speaking in a chat with Daily Independent, Adesina said the guild will be in the best position to respond to Obaigbena’s claim.
“Please direct all questions to the Nigerian Guild of Editors. But I believe the body will soon issue a statement on what actually transpired” he said.

APC will not comment now since he is Baba spokesman. Hypocrite

Bevista:
There is no hypocrisy here, son. Obaigbena said that N50m was given to NGE, but the media twist that to mean that N50m was given to Adesina.

It is the place of the Guild to respond, except their explanation shows that the purpose of the funds was questionable or it can be proven that Femi (as head) pocketed the funds personally.

Adesina was the president of the guild when the money was payed,so let him defend himself rather than refer to the guild to defend the accusation for him...

Nigerians don't really understand how dangerous this new line of thinking they've started. They are not letting the courts do their jobs and are witch hunting everyone. This was how they dragged linda ikeji into it without proof. This is no different than jungle justice. Na wah for una.
