The former Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to Nigerian ex-President Muhammadu Buhari, Femi Adesina, has disclosed how his principal confessed to not being aware of his environment when he was seriously ill.

This was contained in Adesina’s book titled ‘Working with Buhari: Reflections of a Special Adviser, Media and Publicity 2015 – 2023.

Adesina recounts a visit to Buhari in London in 2017, during which the former president admitted to not knowing where he was due to his illness.

Adesina revealed that there were demands for him to declare the president incapacitated and unfit for office.

The former spokesman said the criticisms and claims that the media aides to the President at the time, were shut out, were not necessary.

“It was during that London meeting that he told me: ‘At a point, I did not even know where I was.

“Serious. Very serious. Those criticising that the media aides were shut out, was it at such a time we were needed?

“To do what? To use our pens to conduct diagnosis and write prescriptions? Easy, easy does it.”
