Nigerian senate president’s spokesperson appointment sparks controversy

A controversy is brewing over the appointment by the Senate President, Ahmed Lawan, on Tuesday, of Festus Adedayo as his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity.Betty Okoroh, the Special Adviser to the Senate President on Administration, said the appointments were made based on merit, experience, track record, and competency.

“I have this hunch that by the time President Muhammadu Buhari leaves office after his second term, there may either be no Nigeria as properly so called or the nagging questions of our existence would have led to the ultimate violent resolution of our identity and leadership crises,” he said.the trial of former Chief Justice of Nigeria Walter Onnoghen, describing it as President Muhammadu Buhari’s desperation for re-election into office.

In a statement signed by its Chairman, Niyi Akinsiju, and Secretary, Cassidy Madueke, the group urged him to demonstrate loyalty and integrity on the job. The BMO recalled that the new SA Media to the Senate President had served two People Democratic Party governors in the South-west and South-east and wondered when he became a “born-again progressive”.

Speaking with PREMIUM TIMES on Wednesday evening, Mr Adedayo said he did not ask for the appointment. “I have never done anything in my life other than in the media. I have been a reporter, features editor, opinion editor. The only ‘affiliary’ thing I’ve done is be a media adviser to two governors and in those respect, I did my job as a journalist and a professional.”

Senator Lawan is an extension of Saraki. Buharist suffered for PDP again and Nigerians need to prepare for another 4years of hardship as the crisis is sure to continue between the executive and the legislature. Now, we know, a wolf was in sheep clothing.

...when the man you know is your potential enemy gives you a hand shake watch where his fingers ends...

Adedayo has no shame and honour by accepting this offer with all what he had wrote about buhari and APC.

This is what loyal buharists have been complaining about since 2015, sidelining loyal party members for foes because they have friends and/or relatives close to him.

APC is a party in love with its opposition. Those who worked to its success left in shame and disappointment

Lawan=Saraki

Nigeria... if it’s not religion, it’s ethnicity. If not ethnicity, it’s political affiliation. If not political affiliation, it’s ‘he/she is one of us’... But it’s never merit. Never ever. That’s why this country is the contraption it is today!

Those against his apppmtmrnt are not serious...needs urgent rehabilitation. Thats his luck, yours &mine too soon

I think Apc has entered one chance with Lawan, I sincerely doubt his capacity with this blunder. Sense of judgement totally faulty

AhmedLawan_019 should not rescind this appointment otherwise he will be tag a weakling
