Mr Femi Adesina, the Special Adviser to the President on
Media and Publicity has disclosed a conversation he had with the Sultan of
Sokoto, His Eminence Muhammadu Sa’ad Abubakar during his first week in office.
Adesina in an article titled, “THE FINAL GALLOP HOME”, said
the Sultan of Sokoto had told him that the job of Media Adviser does not
attract appreciation from Nigerians, citing previous occupants of the position.
His Eminence, however, told Adesina that his tenure would be
different from that of his predecessors.
According to Adesina, while some Nigerians are currently
unhappy about his preparation to quit the office on May 29, wailers are set to
see him leave.
He said, “In my very first week as Media Adviser, the Sultan
of Sokoto, His Eminence Muhammadu Sa’ad Abubakar, had visited the Villa, and
met me along the walkway to the President’s office.
“We had been acquainted for many years before then and he
usually called me by my email. And he said: ‘Kulikulii, you have come to do a
very thankless job. That’s the way it has been for your predecessors, but with
you, it won’t be so.’
“And I’ve not stopped saying amen to that prayer for 8
years, and no low person will stop me from that amen chorus”.
