I laughed so much I almost tumbled<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">from my chair because it is very ridiculous and laughable.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\u201cI looked at my friend and colleague Kola Ologboniyan speaking, if not<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">that I know him well because we are tribesmen, by tribesmen I mean from<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">the media constituency. If not that I have known him for some time, I<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">would have said: \u201cis codeine of tramadol at work? Because those<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">allegations are simply ridiculous and laughable.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">According to him, \u201cthere are certain things that are characteristic of a<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">government and by now, \u201cthree years into this government, people know what<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">is characteristic of the Muhammadu Buhari administration and all those<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">things that came from the PDP spokesman are alien to this government,<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">completely,\u201d he stressed.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Responding to questions about the failure of the government to adhere to<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">some court rulings on cases involving the likes of the leader of the<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Shiite group, Ibrahim El-Zakzaky and former National Security Adviser,<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Sambo Dasuki, the President\u2019s spokesman said he would not comment on them<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">as they were outside his purview.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">He said: \u201cI will not want to belabour the issues you have raised because<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">they are outside my purview. They reside in the purview of the Attorney<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">General of the Federation.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\u201cHe has responded to these matters before, you may recall what he has said<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">or if you want a fresh explanation, you may get in touch with him.\u201d<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Furthermore, Mr Adesina said he believes that the PDP only comes up with<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">various tactics to destabilize the government.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\u201cThe idea I have is that the PDP just wakes up and says what can we do<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">today to make the government uncomfortable, so they play one wild card or<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">the other \u2013 that is the impression I get about that party.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\u201cSo, all these things are not worthy of responses\u201d.<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spokesperson to President Muhammadu Buhari, Mr Femi Adesina has faulted some claims by the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) against the APC- led government over the way it has handled&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":52812,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-62282","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-exclusive"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
