Femi Adesina, the Special Adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari, said some governors think they can be heroes by criticizing his principal in public.
Adesina, in a statement issued on Friday, said these governors use the President as a shield for their poor performance in office.
He added that these governors criticize President in the daytime but run to the Presidential Villa under cover of darkness, and Buhari still opens the doors to them.
Adesina said, “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.”
