There Were Deceitful Narratives Against Buhari – Adesina

Femi Adesina, a former spokesperson to former President Muhammadu Buhari has said the political enemies of his principal had sown negative narratives and fed to the Nigerian public to tarnish his image.

Adesina, who stated this in Abuja yesterday at a pre-book media conference heralding the unveiling and public presentation of two significant publications, said the two books would be launched on January 16th.

The first publication, Working with Buhari: Reflections of a Special Adviser, Media and Publicity (2015-2023) is the memoir of Chief Femi Adesina which provides great insights into the life and leadership of the former president.

The second, Muhammadu Buhari: The Nigerian Legacy (2015-2023) is a groundbreaking five-volume historical compendium, edited by Dr. Udu Yakubu. It is an authoritative, comprehensive and most definitive story of the administration of Buhari from 2015 to 2023.

Speaking at the conference, Adesina said the book explores the true narrative of Buhari against the ones created by political foes, noting that the book will help Nigerians to know the real and the true Buhari.

According to him, the two publications will bring President Buhari to Abuja for the first time since he exited office in May 2023.

He also said the event would be chaired by General Yakubu Gowon with President Bola Tinubu as chief guest.

Adesina said “If I had the confidence of my principal for eight years and we worked together seamlessly, not once the president would complain of anything rather he would say thank you.

“There is a certain myth about president Buhari, a narrative that his political enemies had sowed and fed to the Nigerian public. I just felt that the true narrative needed to be taught and that’s why I have written this book.

“That book is not about the hardware of government, economic policy, monetary policy, foreign policy but about the software of governance and the man who headed that government. What made him take certain decisions?

“I believe it will help Nigerians to know who the real and true Muhammadu Buhari is,” he said.

Also speaking, the editor of the second book, Muhammad Buhari; The Nigerian Legacy, Dr. Udu Yakubu said it is a five-volume compendium to produce a comprehensive story of Buhari’s administration.
