Nigerians Should Be Grateful Bombings Do Not Happen Everyday Like Before– Femi Adesina

The Special Adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, yesterday asked Nigerians to be grateful that his principal’s fight against insecurity has reduced daily attacks on Nigerians.

Speaking on Sunday while appearing on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics programme, Mr Adesina opined that: “There could be five, six bombings in one day. Now, you can have two, three months with no single case of bombing. Let’s be thankful for small mercies. Any mercies we receive, let’s be thankful for it, and let’s not dwell on negatives alone.”

When asked if Buhari is winning the war against insecurity, the outspoken Femi answered, ‘Yes’.

His words:

“Yes, there are times, a week, two weeks even a month that you don’t have all these things happening. There was a time in the immediate past when they happened daily several times. You talked of one bombing within three or four days. There was a time in this country when bombs went off like firecrackers every day.

“There could be five, six bombings in one day. Now, you can have two, three months with no single case of bombing. Let’s be thankful for small mercies. Any mercies we receive, let’s be thankful for it, and let’s not dwell on negatives alone.

“Life is taking the rough and smooth together. So, sometimes we see when things go on for days, for weeks with no negative developments, let us emphasise those ones… We have challenges but these are not the constants in the country.”
