All Offensive Weapon Have Been Thrown At Buhari – Femi Adesina

The former Special Adviser on Media and Publicity on President Muhammadu Buhari, Femi Adesina, has called on Nigerians to understand his principal.

Femi Adesina disclosed this in an article in commemoration of President Buhari’s 78th birthday.

According to the presidential spokesperson, the perfect birthday gift for Buhari would be for a lot more cynical Nigerians to “understand this President today, rather than tomorrow, for the good of the country.”

He also accused the opposition of throwning offensive weapons at President Buhari.

Adesina added that many people are plotting, and engineering all sorts of artifices, “to ensure Buhari does not succeed. Who loses? The country!”

He said, “show me a man beleaguered from all sides and I’ll show you Muhammadu Buhari.

“Today, everything possible has been thrown at President Buhari, including the kitchen sink.”

Adesina continued, “Anything. Everything. Fake news. Hate speech. Lies. False propaganda. Evil thoughts. Malediction. Odium. Opprobrium. Ogbunigwe. Ogulutu. Surface to air missiles. All offensive weapons. But the man trudges on. Calmly, sedately, peacefully.”

While describing Buhari as essential and quintessential patriot and gentleman, Adesina said many Nigerians do not know his principal.

He said that too many Nigerians have chosen to believe the wrong things about Buhari, but pointed out that those of them who work with the President and study him closely “have a duty to tell what we have seen. And what better day to do it, than on his birthday.”

“Somebody commented that a blitzkrieg has been launched against Buhari and the government he leads, from all quarters,” Adesina noted.

He also dismissed claims that his principal died during a medical vacation in London in 2017 and was replaced with Jubril from Sudan.

He wrote, “This is Jubril from Sudan and not Muhammadu Buhari, who had died during the medical vacation in 2017, some people say. You have a clone in Aso Villa, not Buhari. Idiocy, sadly believed by even some intellectuals.”

“Let me tell you a story. On the day the President finally returned to the country in August 2017, after months of absence, the Chief of Defence Staff, Gen Abayomi Olonisakin, was giving out his daughter in marriage.”

“I had attended the church service, decked unusually incomplete Agbada, with a cap to match. From the wedding, I went straight to the airport to join the reception party.”

“We formed a welcome line, as we usually do. And as the President shook each person, he had one wisecrack or the other to say. When he got to me, he took my hand and said: ‘Adesina, this is the best I’ve seen you dressed.”

“We both laughed heartily, and the television cameras captured it. I remember that many people asked me later what had tickled me and the President, that we laughed so uproariously.”

“Jubril from Sudan? Would he know my name as Adesina? Would he know I rarely wear Agbada? How ridiculous can some people be?”
