No apologies for calling Buhari’s critics wailing wailers – Femi Adesina

Femi Adesina, Special Adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari on Media and Publicity has declared that he has no apologies for describing those who atnagonise his principal as wailing wailers.

He stated this in an article entitled “The Last Wailing Wailer Dies” dropped on Friday.

He wrote, “One day, Metuh had issued one of his ‘yeye’ press statements, and I decided to respond via a Tweet. I said those who shout endlessly about the President should realize that power had slipped inexorably out of their hands, at least for the next four years. I ended it with the expression; “Wailing Wailers.”

“It caught on like harmattan wildfire. He has abused us o. He called us wailers. Yes, what were they? Wailers. Wailing wailers, no apologies. The battle line was drawn.

“They came after me like wild coyotes, but to me, it was just like water off the duck’s back. If the woman cooking egusi soup sees a toad hopping by, she can only hiss, and turn her face away. The toad cannot end in her soup pot.

“They screamed, shouted, wailed, and at the end of the day, they decided to adopt the appellation. They began to call themselves wailing wailers.”
