The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, has come under severe criticism for his statement that the present administration of President Buhari has done better in terms of security than the administration of Goodluck Jonathan.
GWG had earlier reported that Adesian featured on a national television programme on Sunday where he pointed out that the killings and bombings were now less frequent as the country now goes weeks and months without any incident.
He was speaking concerning the recent happenings concerning the abduction of students by the Boko Haram insurgents as he pointed out that President Buhari is still on track as he promised to stop insecurity in the country during his campaign.
“There are times, a week, two weeks even a month that you don’t have all these things happening. There was a time in the immediate past when they happened daily several times. You talked of one bombing within three or four days.
“Let’s be thankful for small mercies. Any mercies we receive, let’s be thankful for it, and let’s not dwell on negatives alone.
“Life is taking the rough and smooth together. So, sometimes we see when things go on for days, for weeks with no negative developments, let us emphasise those ones… We have challenges but these are not the constants in the country,” Adesina had said.
The statement of the presidential spokesperson has elicited reactions as some netizens took to the micro-blogging platform to berate Adesina for making comparisons between two terrible situations as many were of the view that the country is not better off now than it was before.
GWG brings some of their thoughts below:

Anytime I see Femi Adesina's head, I know he is about to compare bombing and beheading. Also about to compare 10 killed under GEJ and 9 killed under Buhari. That is progress to Femi.pic.twitter.com/rj9uctmfI8
Femi Adesina is trying VERY hard to outdo Lai Muhammed in the game of LYING. Please just continue speaking for your principal, you are not in any way qualified to speak for Nigerians. Get out of your DELUSION and HALLUCINATIONS, don't try it again to "speak" for Nigerians.
Delusional Mr. Femi Adesina, merry Christmas to u & ur family. Enough of #PepperSoupLeadership Nigeria is trudging towards sanity & d Protagonists are not aware that history is in the making. Only d discerning can tell that "Kings, like Stars, rise & fall."
Femi Adesina is a cerified fool… After paying the salary of Buhari to secure citizen's lives but no government is doing us favour by asking us to be patient.
Some people are born liars and their every thought is to tell lies and they constantly wish to outdo themselves…Lai Mohammed is the father of Nigeria lies Femi Adesina is his best student.. but remember its the job they signed up for pic.twitter.com/8gEQ57le2I
