Special Adviser to President Buhari on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, has said that making inciting comments can be categorized as part of insecurity.

In a post shared on his Facebook page, Adesina averred that some Nigerians want others to believe that the ‘worsening insecurity’ is the only thing happening in the country as they never talk about the second Niger Bridge. Loko-Oweto Bridge, Bodo-Bonny road, Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, Airports, Rail revolution, Fertilizer availability, Rice and maize pyramids, food security and many other achievements of this government.

He stated that these people, preachers included, are so angry with President Buhari, that they are angry he has achieved many things in this administration and are making inflammatory comments so as to gain power through the back door. He pointed that even as a preacher, either Christian or Muslim, God has not ceded that authority to anyone to cast judgment as he sits in Heaven, and makes the earth His footstool. He added that the uncouth language is the stock-in-trade of some preachers today as their words are no longer seasoned with grace.

”INCITING COMMENTS ARE PART OF INSECURITY

Let’s start with a caveat: free comments are part of democracy, and so this is not an attempt to muzzle anyone. Nobody should come and shout, oh, they don’t want us to say our minds again. They want to padlock our mouths. Not at all. President Muhammadu Buhari is not even the type that would gag anyone, and the polity is today suffused with all kinds of comments, the responsible, and the not so responsible. The inspiring, and the bilious. The encouraging, and the poisonous. The reasonable, and the not so reasonable.

Nobody would deny that Nigeria has very severe security challenges, though the intensity often varies from time to time. There are seasons when our courageous security agencies have the upper hand, clobber the criminals black and blue, and things calm down. At other times, they suffer reversals. That is the fair assessment of developments.

But fair? That word doesn’t seem to exist in the dictionary of some Nigerians….
