Femi Adesina, the Special Adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari on Media and Publicity, has said his principal recently received the former Chairman of Christan Association of Nigeria (CAN) Plateau State Chapter, Rev Yakubu Pam who was described as “a total idiot” by the former president, Olusegun Mathew Obasanjo.
Adesina said Buhari who is of another religion was able to receive the cleric with dignity he deserved, stressing that “for a Matthew to call a priest an idiot, “a total idiot?” Not acceptable by any stretch of the imagination”.
The president’s spokesman who made the remark on Friday in a statement titled “THE PRIEST AND THE PRESIDENT”, said “What Rev Pam didn’t get from a Christian, he got from a Fulani man from Daura, a Muslim. Is there any lesson we can learn from this? Think about it”.
