Every day, I take the challenges as they come,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat makes me glad is that a lot of Nigerians are with this President. Don\u2019t mind the vocal minority who have access to social media and traditional media and say all sorts of things. They are a vocal minority but the majority of Nigerians are with him, and the polls will show it. For me, it gives me a sense of fulfillment that I\u2019m working with a man that is making a difference in Nigeria.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On frequent public complaints about him, Adesina said: \u201cCocky or arrogance is not part of my makeup. I wouldn\u2019t think so. I\u2019m not the one that can assess or judge myself but \u2018cocky or arrogance\u2019 is not part of my makeup because I\u2019m a Christian and a believer and arrogance is not part of a true Christian.<\/p>\n<p><code><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alternativeadvert.com\/show.php?z=30&amp;pl=16642&amp;ad_type=59&amp;rl=180\" width=\"300\" height=\"250\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n<\/code><\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut what I\u2019ve noticed is that some people do not like people who can hold their own. When you can hold your own, they say it is arrogance. I think it is just that I can hold my own. Anything that you come with, I can always defend because I am part of the administration and I have inside knowledge.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, if you come with something that is not true, I can always debunk it. If anybody sees that as being arrogant or cocky I can\u2019t help it. But \u2018cocky and arrogant\u2019 I don\u2019t think so. I am not.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou know the social media just revels in abusing people, and saying all sorts of rude and crude things. I remember my daughter who was in the university then and she called me and was almost crying and said, \u2018all these things I read on social media about you, this is not you.\u2019 I then told her, \u2018since you know that it is not me, then let your heart be at peace knowing that it is not your daddy; it is a creation of the social media.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat amuses me is that when I say something, they twist it and make it negative. When I see them, I laugh because they are idle. If not, they won\u2019t waste time in twisting what I\u2019ve said.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/newsroom247.com.ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Sheriff-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-19311\" src=\"http:\/\/newsroom247.com.ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Sheriff-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"751\" height=\"214\" srcset=\"http:\/\/newsroom247.com.ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Sheriff-1.jpg 1080w, http:\/\/newsroom247.com.ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Sheriff-1-300x86.jpg 300w, http:\/\/newsroom247.com.ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Sheriff-1-768x219.jpg 768w, http:\/\/newsroom247.com.ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Sheriff-1-1024x292.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 751px) 100vw, 751px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- www.newsroom247.com.ng --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-2163942495525027\" data-ad-slot=\"1411897411\" data-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Femi Adesina, Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, says President Muhammadu Buhari has the overwhelming support of majority of Nigerians \u2014 notwithstanding the constant criticism from the \u201cvocal minority who have access to social media and traditional media\u201d.
