Femi Adesina disclosed this during an interview on Tuesday where he said that the fact that Nigerians elected the president does not mean they can order him around.
“Some people think because whether you elected the President or you didn’t elect the President, you must lead your President by the ‘nose’; it does not happen. The President will do whatever is good for the country at any given time” Femi Adesina said.
When asked to explain why President Buhari has refused to hold a media chat since assumption of office, Adesina said the fact that other presidents did it does not mean Buhari will do it.
“The fact that some other Presidents in the past did what is called the media chat, does not mean every President must do it.
it is a matter of style if this President decides not to have a media chat like his predecessors, it is his right.”
