Prophecies Of Nigeria’s Break Up Not New – Femi Adesina

Femi Adesina

Femi Adesina, a Special Adviser, Media and Publicity to President Muhammadu Buhari has stated that it has been predicted severely that Nigeria will be disintegrated but none of the prophecies has come through.

In his weekly article on Friday, Adesina claimed that these prophecies were put out during the administrations of at least three former presidents.

He listed them as Olusegun Obasanjo, Umaru Yar’Adua and Goodluck Jonathan.

According to him, these predictions continued into the two terms Buhari has served.

Adesina urges journalists to tell Nigeria’s story positively

However, Adesina boasted that Nigeria continues to live and will surely survive.

“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 he 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,” Adesina wrote.

He added that “But Nigeria lives. It trudges on from day to day, month to month, and will surely survive.”
