Femi Adesina expressed that being elected as a president does not imply the authority to give orders to the President. He made this statement during his appearance on Nigeria Info FM on May 5.
He conveyed this message during a conversation with a caller, Mr. Ibikunle, who urged him to organize a media chat for President Buhari with Nigerian press.
Adesina responded by saying
I just want to encourage Mr. Ibikunle not to continue to sound like a broken record. When the COVID thing started, everyone was like the President should talk to us. He has had three National broadcast within a month. What else do they want? What else do they want? Some people think because you elected a President or you did not elect you, you must lead your President by the nose.
It doesn’t happen. The fact that you have elected a man does not mean then you begin to order him around. The President will do what is good for the country at any given time”he said
