Special adviser to Nigeria President, Muhammadu Buhari, Femi Adesina has said that those peddling news Buhari has been rejected in the north, especially in Borno are rumor mongers. According to the Special Adviser, the president remains loved by the people of Borno despite the insurgency in the state.

He said “We don’t see it as a rejection; if you look at those who came to welcome the president from the airport to the palace of the Shehu of Borno, it was a huge crowd.
Some 90 to 95 percent were waving brooms and welcomed the president; some dissenting voices in a large crowd like that do not call for worry, its normal in a democracy.
The President really, is still very accepted, still very popular and the people of Borno know what he has done; they appreciate what he has done in terms of tackling the insurgency.”
Femi Adesina further said that President Buhari is feeling the heat regarding the attacks and is seeking to put an end to it.
“There may be some reversals of the gains made, but then those gains can always be made again.
The President should be worried, he took an oath to protect the country so if we see lives and property being lost wantonly, the president must be concerned and he is.”
