COUNT PRESIDENT BUHARI OUT OF N'ASSEMBLY CRISIS - Adesina

Since the appointment of Femi Adesina as Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, he has applied himself to the job, making frantic efforts to defend the administrative policies of President Muhammadu Buhari’s government. In this exclusive interview with Independent correspondent in the Aso Villa, INNOCENT OWEH, he dismissed allegations by the national assembly leadership that the Presidency was behind its many travails. He also spoke on why the immediate past administration of President Goodluck Jonathan abandoned several Memorandum of Understandings (MOUs) signed with foreign allies, which could have translated to more development for the country.

With the gloomy economy, workers are becoming tensed, and recently staff of the Federal Ministry of Finance protested over poor welfare issues, are you aware of their grievances?

I read the explanation from the finance ministry that what they are agitating for had been stopped by the previous government, that explains it. If there would be further explanations, I think its the ministry of finance that would do it, but I think what they have said satisfies me, it suffices for now

Change will come, It is a process, and not magic - Femi Adesina

Mr. Femi Adesina, Special Adviser on Media & Publicity to President Muhammadu Buhari was on Channels Television recently with Seun Okinbaloye , where he answered questions on the China trip of his principal.

Excerpts:
Q: How was the China trip Mr Adesina and what are the benefits for Nigeria?

A: It was a splendid trip. Very successful. Once again, Nigeria can be proud of its leadership, can be proud of its President because wherever our President turns up, he has tremendous respect and by extension, the country.

Q: Nigerians will want to know what we were able to get from China. We understand the Presidency has come out to say it is not about loans and getting money from China, that it is going to be a mutually benefitting relationship.
