‘Don’t blame Femi Adesina for defending Buhari’ – Osoba tells Nigerians

A former governor of Ogun State, Chief Segun Osoba, has said Nigerians should not blame Femi Adesina for defending former President, Muhammadu Buhari.

Osoba made the assertion at the launch of a book, ‘A peep into the past’, a memoir and collection of landmark articles and reports by a former Editor of Nigerian Tribune, Sir Folu Olamiti.

The event took place at the International Conference Centre, University of Ibadan, in Ibadan.

Adesina, who was present at the event, served as the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to Buhari between 2015 and 2023.

Osoba while speaking at the event, noted that Adesina should not be blamed for all he did to defend Buhari.

Osoba noted that as a spokesman, Adesina’s role is to defend his principal whether he has done good or bad.

He said, “Don’t blame Femi Adesina for defending Buhari’s work. His job is to defend him whether you like Buhari or not. His job is to defend him and he made a good job of it.”
