Reacting to Adesina’s post, former aviation minister faulted the president aide’s claim saying Buhari emergence destroyed Nigeria and plunged her into darkness.
"Buhari’s emergence in 2015 saved Nigeria’s collapse"-@FemAdesina.
Not so my friend! The emergence of Buhari in 2015 annihilated Nigeria & plunged her into darkness, death & destruction. He came to steal, kill & destroy & for the last 5 disastrous years that is all he has done.

Fani-Kayode added that Buhari constituent has been at the receiving end of insecurity and insurgency in the country in the last five years, noting that the president has been a bigger curse to his region.
The truth is that more people have been killed by terrorists in the North West, North East & North Central zones of Nigeria over the last 5 years than in the entire south. Buhari is an even bigger curse to his own constituency than anywhere else. Nigeria deserves better.

Hundreds of thousands of people are being butchered by terrorists all over the country as Buhari marks his 5 years in office whilst poverty, diesease, despair, hunger, fear & Covid 19 ravages the land. What type of man says & does nothing whilst his people are being slaughtered?

Responding to Fani-Kayode’s assertion, Adesina described the former minister as mischief maker, saying to amount of denigration can detract from his unalloyed loyalty to the president.
A quote from mischief makers is making the rounds, ascribed to me. I just dey laugh. I am a Buharist any day, no apologies, and I believe the President is leading the country well. In fact, we are lucky to have him at a time like this. All attempts to demonize me will fail.
