Femi Adesina: Northern Elders Forum Is A Paper Tiger, Lacks Credible Membership by Limitednow: 8:06pm On Feb 09, 2020
THE Presidency on Sunday berated the Northern Elders Forum, NEF, saying that it does not have any credible membership.

The Presidency in a statement signed by the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Chief Femi Adesina described the association as a one-man show that is like a general without troops which revolves on Prof. Ango Abdullahi.

Adesina noted that the group had before the 2019 presidential elections expressed its hatred for President Muhammadu Buhari, adding that the candidate NEF supported in the election suffered defeat.

The statement read, “Professor Ango Abdullahi on Sunday signed a long-winding statement on many issues relating to the North, and purportedly to the country.

” The former vice-chancellor signed the statement under the banner of Northern Elders Forum (NEF). Hearing that title, you would think the body was a conglomeration of true elders.

“But the truth is that NEF is just Ango Abdullahi, and Ango Abdullahi is NEF. It is a quasi-organization that boasts of no credible membership, and its leader is akin to a General without troops.

” Before the 2019 presidential election, the one-man army called NEF had shown its antipathy against President Muhammadu Buhari, and its preference for another candidate. They all got beaten together.”

Continuing, Adesina said, “NEF is merely waving a flag that is at half-mast. President Buhari steadily and steadfastly focuses on the task of retooling Nigeria, and discerning Nigerians know the true state of the nation. They don’t need a paper tiger to tell them anything.

No reasonable Nigerian takes Femi seriously because even Aisha Buhari can testify that Buhari has failed in the area of security. In fact, to be fair to him, he has failed in every sector

You certainly have to deaden your own conscience before you can serve as a spokesperson to Nigerian politicians.

You have to sandwich lies in between half truths, all the time.

Femi Adesina is aware of the security situation in Nigeria, he is only doing his job. Otherwise, he will be shown the way home.

Humn! Femi Adeshina is a lost cause as he has lost any touch of humanity because of asslicking and having elevated sycophancy to an unimaginable stupid level with all these his senseless press releases.

What this disgrace of a pastor does not know is that the core northerners dont forgive themselves let alone a non-native.Perhaps he cant code why even Buhari himself, the legendary Lai-Lying-Liar Mohammed, Garba Shehu have never even rebutted any dissenting statements from the Arewa youth let alone the likes of NEF that contains radical & cerebral northern elements. 

The Yorubas said, a dog that will not listen to the hunter's whistle will be lost in the forest.SW brethren pls call our brother to his senses.Let Adeshina be wise in doing sai baba zombiesm.

Who else noticed that Garba Shehu has rested and the baton is passed to Adesina to do his bit.

I'm surprised he didn't accuse Prof. Ango of being bitter because his oil block license is about to be withdrawn.

So many people are complaining about the insecurity and poverty in the land. The NASS, The Sultan, The CAN, not to talk of regional bodies like Afenifere an the rest have all added their voices to condemn the current insecure state of the country yet all Femi could do is to position himself as an 'attack dog' to please his master.
Does he think about posterity? Life after Buhari's Presidency?

I hope he knows there was once an Abati.

Femi, Femi, Femi.... How many times did I call you?? You are overstepping your bounds. When siblings quarrel, mind how you throw yourself in. One day they will reconcile and you will become the common enemy. Count your teeth with your tongue and be wise!!

The problem of Nigeria is that we don’t always believe in realities and majority are hypocrites.

In all governments around the world, the spokesperson will always defend his principal in any way possible because that is job designation.

Former White House Press Secretary, Sarah Sanders always defend Trump lies even in the media every time because that’s her job.

That is the same reason why lawyers will defend their client even if he is caught in the act coz that is their job.

Do you expect Femi to be abusing Buhari in the media or he should resign for another person to take his place?

99.99% of the people abusing Femi will do the same if they are appointed as the presidential spokesperson, so why all the noise!
