Mr Femi Adesina, Special Adviser to The President on Media and Publicity, is currently trending on Twitter.

The presidential spokesman became a topic of discussion after he wrote a piece on fuel scarcity in the country.

• Fuel scarcity: Nigerians slept in filling stations before Buhari was elected – Femi Adesina
• VOXPOP: Nigerians speak up as fuel scarcity bites harder

In his piece, Adesina had stated that the problem of fuel scarcity predates the current administration, adding that heavens will not fall and sanity would be restored.

But some Nigerians who, considered his comment offensive, bared their minds in a series of tweets.

One Uneku “Clark Kent”, wrote, “Femi Adesina said heavens would not fall over the current fuel scarcity and Nigerians will survive like always. Which “see finish” pass the one?”

FIsayo Soyombo, an investigative journalist, said, “Has there been a more provocative presidential spokesman than Femi Adesina in Nigeria’s Fourth Republic? I doubt so!”

Tweeting via @AyanfeOfGod, another user said, “Femi Adesina is saying Nigerians are used to suffering, so we should stop acting like fuel scarcity or power outage is new to us. Rather will should switch to our survival mode – suffering with cruise.”

@AimThaMachine, wrote, “About Fuel Scarcity, Femi Adesina speaks his mind because normally, Nigerians are special cowards, if the Elites don’t use us for their own personal interest, we will always be comfortable languishing in pain and misery caused by the government.”

@Deji_OoniAbj said, “I just had a son few weeks ago, Oluwafemi pleased me as a name for him until I remembered Femi Adesina. God forbid!!!!!”

Tweeting via @idyudofia10, another user said, “Honestly whenever Femi Adesina speaks, you can always almost touch the arrogance.”

Kene, who tweeted via @Kene46867301, wrote, “This Femi Adesina is a disgrace to journalism and see someone who attacked Jonathan government badly is taking from another side of his mouth, PDP 16 year we have never witness 1month fuel scarcity, never terrible power supply as we have it now. APC is a curse.”

Soaga Oluwafemi Mayowa⚪@mayorsoaga, puts his own comment this way, “I wouldn’t blame Femi Adesina. I Blame us. Sincerely we need this prayer point: Oh Lord as a Nigerian, let me recieve sense in Jesus name. Oya pray pray.”

Abe Akam@ab_akam· said, “I am waiting for Pastor Femi Adesina “post-nut clarity” when he leaves office in 2023.”
