Speaking on Channels Television’s ‘Sunday Politics’ on Sunday night, Adesina revealed that he had visited the former President at his Kaduna home about a week before he (Buhari) departed for the medical trip to United Kingdom.

“About a week before he travelled for the medical check-up that he never returned from, I was with him in his home in Kaduna,” Adesina said during the interview. “I never knew that was the last time I would see him. So, I feel touched that President Buhari has passed away. I not only lost a boss, I lost a friend.”

Adesina, who served as Special Adviser on Media and Publicity throughout Buhari’s presidency from 2015 to 2023, maintained a close relationship with the former leader even after leaving office.

LEADERSHIP reports that former President Buhari died at 82 in a London hospital on earlier on Sunday evening, July 13, 2025.
