"Silence is golden when you can’t think of an [intelligent] answer” – Mohammed Ali, 1942-2016.
Buhari’s death has exposed more horrors about the real attitude of those who held the highest posts in his government – which was largely a failure based on lies and hypocrisy.
Last week, my column addressed Garba Shehu’s confession that he told
Nigerians lies about Aso Rock rats to cover up Buhari’s infirmities which might
have rendered him unable to preside.
Today, it
is Femi Adesina, another top official of the government, who is under
scrutiny for what he said in defence of his late boss.
To be quite
candid, if only the dead can be aware of what their “friends” say about them,
they would seek the forgiveness of their enemies.
Adesina just rubbished Buhari’s reputation for simplicity and honesty by his recent utterances on a television show.
