Buhari and Adesina

Femi Adesina cries out, says content of his book  – Working with Buhari –  being twisted 

Former presidential aide, Femi Adesina has alleged that the content of his book – ‘working with Buhari’ – is being twisted by persons he described as contortionist.

 

Adesina, who was the special adviser to the former President, raised the alarm in a post on his official X handle on Saturday.

 

The book which  was launched on January 16, captured some political occurrences of the former administration, including the rendition of IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu and his encounters with late Chief of Staff, Abba Kyari. 

 

According to reports, part of the content of the book stated how the former president opted for the rendition of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu amid plots to assassinate him abroad.

 

Similarly, a report also emerged that Abba Kyari, who died in 2020 while serving as the Chief Of Staff to Buhari frustrated his (Adesina) job as the presidential spokesman.

 

The reports quoted the book as saying that Kyari, who was killed by COVID-19 denied Adesina access to Buhari for about five years.

 

Reacting, the former presidential spokesman said those behind the reports lied, stressing that the very opposite of his content was disseminated.

 

The post reads, “Contortionists have begun to twist the content of my book, ‘Working with Buhari.’ They claim I said COS Abba Kyari denied me access to PMB for 5 years. They lie that there was a plot to kill Nnamdi Kanu abroad. Very opposite of things I wrote. And it’s written in English.”
