Take President Buhari The Way He Is, We Elected Him. - Femi Adesina
Senior Special Adviser to President Buhari on Media and Publicity,
Femi Adesina, was a guest on Channels TV this morning where he spoke on
the new photo of President Buhari meeting with some APC governors and
party chieftains in the UK yesterday July 23rd. Adesina during the
interview said after two years in office, Nigerians now have a better
understanding of President Buhari and how he prefers to do things.
According to him, Nigerians elected President Buhari and should take him
the way he is. He said this when asked why the media team did not
advise President Buhari to do a video speaking to Nigerians.
"It is a matter of personal style. There is no style that you can
call his style. The style of our president is what you have seen on
display and by now, two years after he came into office, I’m sure that
we should understand him. We should know the kind of person he is, we
should know how he prefers to do things. So, that is the way the
president is. We elected him willingly and we have seen that this is the
way he is, so let’s take him the way he is.”
On what was discussed at the meeting, Adesina said
“Governor Okorocha who is the head of the APC governors was in the
delegation. We spoke on the phone and he gave me details. The president
spoke with each person, state after state, asking of developments of
their states. He spoke with the minister of transportation on the
development in his sector. He must have also spoken with the party
chairman on the development in the party on the forthcoming convention
and all that. That was the feedback I got from Governor Okorocha when I
spoke with him yesterday” he said
When asked that concerns maybe be raised as he got all his
information from a third party which is governor Okorocha, Adesina said:
“Imagine if there was no information at all, this is third party
information quite all right. It is information that Nigerians are glad
at, there has been lots of rejoicing in the country since yesterday. So
it’s something we appreciate.”
Adesina said in a couple of days, there would be another visit to President Buhari in the UK.
“I am sure that in a couple of days, there is still going to be
another visit, which may be more than this, but this is the first one
and it was made mainly of APC governors and the national chairman of the
party," he said
