Presidential spokesperson, Femi Adesina learned this lesson the hard way and he became a trending topic on Twitter due to his comments on 'Mental & Chronological Age'.
While speaking on a television programme during the weekend, presidential Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, has asked Nigerians to disregard the age of the ministerial nominees sent to the Senate by President Buhari.
The presidential spokesperson, learned this lesson the hard way today and he became a trending topic on Twitter due to his comments on 'Mental & Chronological Age'.
Adesina said: "Talking of age, there is a saying that ‘age does not matter’. We must rather talk of the mental age rather than the chronological age. It is not the chronological age that matters…."
"God himself is ageless, so you can’t be talking of whether someone is old or not. Talking about women, yes, three women in this list, 15 yet to come, if all the 15 are now women, what would you have to say? Just be sure that the President is mindful of fair representation in the country and he will do what is needful."
The quotes made their way to Twitter and rather than letting it go, he defended his comments, thus sparking the online ambush...
