Re: THE SPIRITUAL SIDE OF ASO ROCK

When Dr Reuben Abati, Special Adviser in Media and Publicity to President Goodluck Jonathan wrote a piece in 2016 on his unorthodox spiritual experiences in Aso Rock, it sparked a debate across the country. Abati wrote in that article that: “People tend to be alarmed when the Nigerian Presidency takes certain decisions. They don’t think the decision makes sense. Sometimes, they wonder if something has not gone wrong with the thinking process at that highest level of the country. I have heard people insist that there is some form of witchcraft at work in the country’s seat of government. I am ordinarily not a superstitious person, but working in the Villa, I eventually became convinced that there must be something supernatural about power and closeness to it.”

It was an incredulous revelation and it found advocates and naysayers in equal measure, including from Prof. Sola Adeyeye who said it was a figment of Abati’s imagination.

Now, his successor as Special Adviser in the Presidency, Femi Adesina, has written his own version of his experience, where he repudiates Abati’s account. The articles follow:
