Femi Adesina, the Special Assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari on Media and Publicity, has said he will return back to active media work and become a farmer once the current administration is over.
Adesina stated this in a post on his verified Facebook page when he received All Farmers Association of Nigeria (Edo State Chapter) at his office.
In the post titled: โThey have seen tomorrowโ, Adesina said: โWhen I finish in government, by the mercies of God, I intend to return to active media work and also be a farmer. May God make it happen. Amen.
โIt was then big surprise to me when I got notification from the All Farmers Association of Nigeria (Edo State Chapter), saying they were coming to make me a Patron of the group. I asked myself: โhow did they know I was planning to go into farming? They must have seen tomorrow.โ
โAnd true to their words, the farmers came. Farmers of cassava, cucumber, pineapples, fish, cattle, and other crops and livestock. And they made me their Patron. Men, women, and a youth. They were led by their Chairman, His Royal Highness, Alhaji Bako E. Dogwo, Coordinator General, Bassa Traditional Rulers and Elites. Others were; Gladys Iyore Emuze, Secretary, Aisha Ugbaja, Justice Agbozuadun, Zinat Shaka, and Yusuf Mohammed.
โThe Chairman said having followed my activities as Special Adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari on Media and Publicity, โwe decided that you deserve not only commendation, but also to be honored as our Patron.โ
โThe farmers added: โWe wish to congratulate you as you are being appointed Patron based on your antecedents. We say big congratulations, and look forward to see you rising higher.โ
โThis is a surprising honor. I could only promise the farmers that I would continue to serve the President, and my country to the best of my ability.โ
