Femi Adesina, the former Senior Special Adviser to former president Muhammadu Buhari, has been offered a job at The Sun Newspaper as the Executive Vice Chairman with the effect from September 1, 2023.
Adesina, who confirmed the new job to The Crest noted that the appointment is a fulfillment of the promise the newspaper’s publisher, Orji Kalu made to him when he was leaving the company as MD/Editor-in-Chief for a political appointment.
Adesina said, “I came from The Sun newspaper. I was the MD/Editor-in-Chief. And when I wanted to leave, Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu said ‘Don’t resign. You may get to the government and you don’t like it. You can always come back. Or, you may get to the government and stay eight years; you can always come back. I’m going to make you the Executive Vice Chairman of the company.’ Not only did he say it, he issued me the letter. Yes, I have the letter.”
