Femi Adesina criticises doomsday predictions about Nigeria
The presidential spokesperson said the people making the predictions behave like they fast and pray for Nigeria’s eventuality collapse.
Adesina however, explained that these types of predictions were also made during the tenure of past presidents, but that they never occurred.
He said:
‘’When Chief Olusegun Obasanjo was President between 1999 and 2007, they predicted that he was going to be the last President of a united Nigeria.
''It didn’t happen. When Umaru Yar’Adua came, they said he was too sick to hold Nigeria together. The country stood. Under Goodluck Jonathan, they said the man was too weak, and different components of the country would soon say, ‘to your tents oh Israel.’ Nigeria survived. And for six years under Muhammadu Buhari, they have not changed their songs.''
