What I'll do following appointment by Senate President Lawan - Festus Adedayo

The newly appointed Special Adviser to the Senate President on Media and Publicity, Festus Adedayo, has said he is still considering whether or not to take the job.

The Buhari Media Organisation described the appointment as surprising “given his antecedents and his undisguised contempt for the APC and President Buhari.”In his reaction, Mr Adedayo told PREMIUM TIMES that he neither asked nor lobbied for the job.“I am still consulting with my family. As I talk to you, I’m a student of the Law School and it is a certificate that I’ve sought to own all my life. So, for me to abandon it, is an issue that I’m still battling.

“I have never been a politician. But if the politicians feel that it is their birthright, they can have the appointment; it is not a do or die thing for me at all. If I go there, I’m going there to serve the country,” he said. “I don’t have any apologies for the fact that I am not a politician. I never worked for any political party and I am not going to work for any political party. But I have an idea of what a good country needs. And I will always write about it all the days of my life.

As a columnist, Mr Adedayo has written opinion articles in major newspapers including PREMIUM TIMES. And in his write-ups, he never failed to hide is disdain for the ruling party and its administration.titled “Who will be Nigeria’s last president?”, Mr Adedayo criticised the federal government’s decision to establish a radio station “principally devoted to Fulani herdsmen”.

Shameless old critic with no principle

Let test your morality,, leave the job ..

fesadedayo I don't expect you to accept any appointment from any APCNigeria or APC related invidual!

Sorry, he has been replaced already.

What are you going to do?

What's your business in a government you does not believe in it agenda?why people don't have shame again? Gush

I don't blame you, I blame the insensitivity of the SP

The way this man criticized MBuhari OfficialAPCNg before election he should follow his conscience and reject that appointment I'm just wondering how is going to defend OfficialAPCNg against other critics.

That is, if u still have d job after this backlash.
