LIFE'S SHORT, BRUTISH, NASTY UNDER BUHARI, FEMI ADESINA ADMITS

Femi Adesina, spokesman to President Muhammadu Buhari, has admitted that "life has descended into the Hobbesian state of nature, nasty, brutish and short in the last 18 months under his principal's control.

"We have, indeed, passed through the most challenging of times in the past 18 months security-wise, economically, socio-politically, and in many other ways" Mr Adesina said in an article published in his Facebook page Thursday night. "Lide has descended into the Hobbesian state of nature; nasty, brutish and short."

Mr Adesina said admitting the truth is important to tackling the problem, adding that Buhari regime cannot be about prevailing insecurity in the country.

"Challenges are meant to be surmounted. Accepting that they are real is the first practical step to combating them. The Buhari administration is not glossing over our issues, but is rather facing them squarely. And that is why "We Believe. Some governments lie to their people. No, not the Buhart government," Mr Adesina said.

Before now, Mr Adesina had said insecurity in the country is being "played up" to rubbish Mr Buhari's achievement, accusing citizens of having the regime.
