Adesina Reveals Three Enemies That Stood Against Buhari Government

During a media chat organized by the Association of Veteran Journalists in Osun State, Femi Adesina, the former Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to ex-president Muhammadu Buhari, identified three main groups that posed as adversaries to the Buhari administration from 2015 to 2023.

Adesina explained that the administration faced a barrage of propaganda and negative sentiments aimed at discrediting its efforts. He outlined the antagonists as follows: the primary opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP); a faction of the church that harbored resentment over the defeat of the Christian incumbent (Goodluck Jonathan) in the 2015 polls by the Muslim candidate, Buhari; and certain loyalists of Buhari who had unmet expectations.

The former presidential aide also acknowledged that the media played a role by sometimes misrepresenting his statements and casting him as an adversary of the public.

Adesina said: “There were people who naturally were against Buhari’s government from the beginning. I identified three different sets of people that were anti-Buhari. Firstly, the PDP, which is natural, secondly, a part of the Church, who felt the one defeated was Christian, and Buhari is a Muslim. So they thought they should use the pulpit to explore evil against the administration and those, who were with Buhari in the beginning but whose expectations were not met and then they crossed over and became enemies with the administration.

“So, all those people, from day one till the end, fought the administration. My biggest challenge during the eight years that I served with President Muhammadu Buhari was the fact that a section of the media deliberately quoted me out of context.

“I eventually grew out of it and got used to the antics. Even while I had a television interview, it was turned upside down in the papers deliberately to make me an enemy of the public, but I outgrew it and it no longer affected my duty throughout my tenure.”
