Afenifere leader, Pa Ayo Adebanjo’s characterisation of presidential aide, Femi Adesina as a betrayer of Yoruba people has elicited diverse reactions from Nigerians.
Adebanjo stated this while knocking Adesina for defending his principal’s recent controversial actions.
The 93-year-old Afenifere leader said that Adesina’s comments since his appointment as Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity were at variance with the views he held before his appointment.
“Femi Adesina is a sell-out of the Yoruba people. When you compare what Adesina was writing as Editor of the Sun newspaper and what he is doing now, you feel ashamed of him. He has no principles at all”.

“He has forgotten that 10 kings, 10 seasons. Adesina has forgotten that Buhari will leave his position as President soon and Nigeria will remain. Then, we will look at Adesina and say ‘where are you now?’
“Adesina is thinking that Buhari will triumph over iniquity. No, it can never happen. We will get rid of Buhari through prayers to God because God does not support injustice. Then, we shall see what Adesina’s life will look like,” Daily Independent quoted Adebanjo as saying.
However, many Nigerians on social media are divided on the matter.
While some expressed their agreement with the Afenifere leader’s characterisation of Adesina, some others said the criticisms were unjustified as the presidential aide “is just doing his job”.

Adesina is to Yoruba as Joe Igbokwe is to Igbo.
What goes round comes around. But sincerely, Adesina has no principles. His articles were my favorite reads then because he was very outspoken, fair and fearless with his pen. To know the true nature of man, give him power and money, this we see in him. |

Femi is simply doing his job, because ass licking Buhari is what coughs out his daily bread.
When buhari leaves office he will come back to his senses |
