The Presidency has said there are some State Governors who abuse President Muhammadu Buhari during the day but come to the Presidential Villa, popularly known as Aso Rock, at night to see him.
The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, said this on Friday in his weekly column.
Titled: “Zulum zooms in,” Adesina said despite the public hostility, Buhari still attends to such governors.
He said: “Some Governors abuse him in daytime, come to the Presidential Villa under cover of darkness, and he still opens the doors to them.
“Some Governors think they can be heroes by antagonizing the President.
“If they owe salaries and pensions, once the month is ending, they begin to abuse the President, thinking their people would forget the outstanding salaries and pensions.
“When they have not built a single kilometer of road, it is Buhari.
“When infrastructure has decayed under them, it is Buhari.
“When they can’t secure the lives and property of the people they govern, it is Buhari.
“They play to the gallery, thinking they will receive applause from their people.
“No, the only sound the people hear is the rumbling from their bellies, due to hunger.
“And they know where their problems come from.”
Adesina hailed the Borno State Governor, Prof. Babagana Zulum, for being consistent in his actions and moves to win the war against insurgency.
