  Y ou’re blinded by hatred for Buhari – Femi Adesina fires back at Bishop Oyedepo President Muhammadu Buhari’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, on Tuesday said the founder of Living Faith Church, Bishop David Oyedepo, harbours hatred for the president. Adesina said Bishop Oyedepo is blinded by his hatred for President Buhari. Recall that Oyedepo had described Buhari’s government as the most wicked and corrupt in the history of Nigeria.

Osinbajo won APC presidential primary – Election c’ttee member

Girei also said those propagating the Muslim-Muslim ticket as running mate to Asiwaju Bola Tinubu in the party were propagandists for their selfish interests.

Girei, while speaking to newsmen in Kaduna on Monday, said, “But I can tell you that the Vice President won the special conventio...
