The following are comments made by some close aides of President Muhammadu Buhari on thing most Nigerians do not know about the President
"He gives you things to do, and leaves you strictly to do those things. No interference at all, once he has confidence in you....And he cracks those jokes, and manages to still keep a straight face." -Vice President Yemi Osinbajo.
"He gave me some priority projects: Mokwa/Jebba road, Lagos/Ibadan Expressway, and Second Niger Bridge...He never appends his signature to anything, unless you've explained, and he understands it." Mr Babatune Raji Fashola, Minister of Power, Works and Housing.
"When we were in the opposition, you needed to see how we rolled on the floor in his living room, as we laughed. Of course, we can't do that again now." Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, Kaduna State governor.
"I wish I had his patience. He would listen to everybody, and then take a decision. He is a reformed democrat." Governor Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun State.
"How I wish Nigerians know his softer and accommodating side. Very jocular. But it is our duty to tell them." Abike Dabiri, Senior Special Assistant on Diaspora Matters.
