The special adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari on media and publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina has revealed his plans for the post-presidency era.

The presidential media aide in a post on his Facebook account said he intends to go back into the media and engage in farming activities as well.

Naija News reports Mr. Adesina gave the insight when he hosted the Edo State Chapter of the All Farmers Association of Nigeria.

He said it was as if the farmers knew his future plans about going into agriculture for them to have chosen him as their patron.

“When 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.” he stated in the Facebook post on Wednesday.

He added that it came to him as a surprise when he got a letter of notification from the group of their intention to make him their patron.

“It 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: “how did they know I was planning to go into farming? They must have seen tomorrow.”

And 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,” Adesina said.

The farmers 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.

Speaking, the Chairman was quoted to have said they followed Adesina’s activities as Special Adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari on Media and Publicity, and have based on that, “decided that you deserve not only commendation, but also to be honored as our Patron.”
