- Recall that the President ignored public outcry and calls for the sack of the Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Isa Pantami.
“Kick like a dying horse, shout yourself hoarse, curse, murmur like a ghost, hiss like a snake, President Buhari keeps his eyes on the ball.
“It’s a big lesson to learn from him. When you are in the market, ignore the din, and concentrate on the person you are transacting business with,” wrote Femi Adesina, Special On Media and Publicity to President Muhammadu Buhari, in an article published on his Facebook page.
He wrote in reaction to questions surrounding President Buhari’s recent medical vacation to London.
While mocking Nigerians who had “harried and harassed” him to know about the President’s state of health in the piece, Adesina stated that his principal would continue to ignore people who “kick like a dying horse” and “murmur like a ghost.”

Adesina, who is known for railing against critics of Buhari, in the article, insisted that Nigerians must learn a “big lesson” from how Buhari ignores public outcry.
According to the presidential aide, even though many Nigerians see Buhari as a passive leader who ignores serious issues, the president chooses to focus on what catches his fancy.
“Some Nigerians have made it a pastime to pester and attempt to browbeat the president. I laugh,” Adesina continued. “They don’t know the person they are dealing with.”

“A cool customer. Never flustered, harried, or disconcerted,” added Adesina.
Recall that the President ignored public outcry and calls for the sack of the Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Isa Pantami. Instead, he threw his weight behind him.
Even though Buhari acknowledged that Pantami supported terrorist organisations and incited the Muslim communities against Christians in the North through the declaration of jihad and fatwa, he argued that the “apology” of the minister was enough to heal the wounds and console the victims of his divisive past.
