Reactions As Femi Adesina Calls Buhari ‘Stingy’

President Buhari has been described as a stingy but generous man who doesn’t lavish funds on things or misappropriates funds meant for the public.

Adesina made the disclosure in a statement released to mark President Buhari’s 79th birthday on Friday. Where he described the President as thrifty.

Excerpts from the statement read, “It is said that President Buhari had used a carpet in that house for almost 20 years. He knew every bit of furniture and fittings like the back of his hands. And then, one day, in his first term as President, he visited home, and a new carpet was in place. Who changed my carpet?

“That was the first question he asked, as he stepped into the house? Imagine the President of Africa’s most powerful country, the largest economy on the continent, having time to ask about a carpet that had become old and threadbare? But that is Muhammadu Buhari for you. Simple man, if ever there was one.

“Stingy but generous. President Buhari is very thrifty. He does not throw money at things, and as his media adviser, I can tell you. He even pokes fun at himself, saying; “don’t you know I’m very stingy?

“True. He doesn’t waste public money. He won’t misappropriate, and neither would he let you, if he knows about it. But when he needs to give, he does. I have personal experiences, which I’ve related before. I won’t repeat them, lest some people ask me to bring part of it, as they’ve done before. Lol.”

In reaction to the glowing tribute, some Nigerians took to social media to air varying opinions. Some users slammed Adesina for the statement, while others said with the state of the nation, it’s easy to see why.

Other weren’t interested at all, saying they were only concerned by the brouhaha being served by Tonto Dikeh and Bobrisky.
