Buhari Spoke To Me - Femi Adesina
Mr Femi Adesina, Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the President, on Saturday, said he spoke with President Muhammadu Buhari who is currently on medical vacation in London.

Adesina confirmed this development on his twitter handle on Saturday in Abuja.

The presidential spokesman said Buhari acknowledged his (Adesina) efforts“ for holding out against mischief makers”.

Adesina said on his twitter handle: “Spoke with President Muhammadu Buhari a short while ago. Glad to hear his voice. Told me he was resting, but no cause for worry. Said I should greet my family.


“Thanks for holding out against mischief makers’, PMB tells me during a phone call today. Said he would call again soon. Gave him best wishes.’’

Below is Adesina's post on facebook:

   
 NAN reports that Adesina is the latest person the President spoke to from his London abode in the last few days.

The President had similar phone conversations with governors of Kano and Katsina states, Abdullahi Ganduje and Aminu Masari respectively, this week.

Many Nigerians have also embarked on prayer sessions in mosques and churches for the quick recovery of the president, who is on bed rest in London.

The President, Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Rev. Samson Ayokunle in a statement, urged Nigerians, especially Christians not to cease praying for the president, acting president and the country “until he (President Buhari) returns in good health and sound mind.’’

President Buhari had earlier in a statement issued by Adesina thanked millions of Nigerians who had been sending good wishes to him.

He revealed that the results of the test conducted on him indicated that he needed a longer period of rest, necessitating his staying longer than originally planned.

Full Text Of Buhari-Adesina phone conversation:

At exactly 2.43 p.m today, Saturday, February 25, 2017, my phone rang. Who was at the other end? Tunde Sabiu, personal assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari.

"Hold on for Mr President," Tunde said.

And in a matter of seconds, the very familiar voice came:

"Femi, how are you?" (He calls me Adesina most times, but today, he opted for Femi)
I screamed :"Mr President, I have missed you. How are you sir?"

He first laughed. That familiar laugh. Then he said: "I am still resting. Thank you for holding out against mischief makers."

I said it was my duty, the very least I could do, adding how happy I was to speak with him.
"How is your family?"

I said we were fine, and he asked me to extend his greetings to them.
"I hope to call you again, " Mr President said, and I bade him farewell, adding: "Best wishes, sir."

No Cause For Worry - Buhari Speaks To Nigerians On His Controversial Health Status

No Cause For Worry - Buhari Speaks To Nigerians On His Controversial Health Status

President Muhammadu Buhari has thanked millions of Nigerians who have been sending good wishes and praying for his health and well-being in mosques and churches throughout the country, his spokesperson said Tuesday.

The president’s special adviser on media and publicity, Femi Adesina, said in a statement that the president was immensely grateful for the prayers, show of love and concern, and said there was “no cause for worry”.

“President Buhari wishes to reassure Nigerians that there is no cause for worry,” the statement said.

Mr. Buhari proceeded on medical vacation on January 19 and wrote to the Senate that Vice-president Yemi Osinbajo would act in his absence.


Speculations about his condition increased after the president wrote the Senate to extend his vacation indefinitely, beyond the initial 10 days, for health reasons.

The presidency has, however, repeatedly said Mr. Buhari is hale and hearty, but has not disclosed his illness.

Mr. Adesina said on Tuesday in a brief statement that “During his normal annual checkup, tests showed he needed a longer period of rest, necessitating the President staying longer than originally planned.”

After Trump's, Buhari Sets To Address Nigerians

After Trump's, Buhari Sets To Address Nigerians

Muhammadu Buhari
Barely 15 hours when He spoke with the United States President, Donald Trump on the telephone,  President Muhammadu Buhari may have also resolved to speak by telephone to Nigerians for the first time since he embarked on a medical vacation to London, the Presidency has said.

Mr. Femi Adesina, the President Media aide made the revelation while answering questions on live political programme on the Channels  Television yesterday night

Femi Adesina simply responded “Yes, he (Buhari) said maybe and I also say maybe” when asked on Monday night during a live political programme on Channels TV 


Adesina said that as the President’s spokesman, he could only transmit what was told to him.

He reiterated that until President Buhari had an “all-clear” on his health, he will not return to the country.

He further assured that President Trump will not undo all the positive agreements Nigeria had with the United States of America under Barack Obama stressing that the positive bilateral relationship between the two nations will continue. .

Adesina said: “Yes, he (Buhari) said maybe, he will speak to Nigerians by phone, and I also say maybe.

“That issue of his coming back is already in the public domain in the letter that was transmitted to the National Assembly. He said as soon as he has an ‘all-clear’ on his health, he’ll be back. I think that issue has been settled

“I communicate what has been told to me. Unless I receive a definite communication that says the president will be back on this date. Then, I can say. Otherwise, I’ll just be making a guess, if I say anything that has not been said to me. Don’t forget that I’m a spokesman. I speak for somebody. I communicate what has been transmitted to me.

“Remember Trump said America will be number one, America will be number two, and America will be number three. So anything that is in the interest of American that the previous government did. I’m sure this Trump administration will continue.

“We know that governance is a continuum. I don’t think one government will come in and obliterate all the positive things that have been done by the previous administration as long as it is positive; and, in the interest of the country.”

BREAKING: conFUSioN As Buhari's Death Reports Take New Turn, Forces Presidency, FG To Release New Statements

BREAKING: conFUSioN As Buhari's Death Reports Take New Turn, Forces Presidency, FG To Release New Statements

Muhammadu Buhari
The Presidency on Thursday again faulted the media reports President Muhammadu Buhari was sick.

There was fear and confusion in the country during the weekend when report cropped up in a section of the media that the president has passed on at the age of 74.

The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, in an interview with CNBC Africa, insisted that Buhari’s trip to London was not on medical ground.

He said, “The President is in London on vacation. He is not in any hospital and he is not ill.

“When he was travelling last week, the statement we put out was that he was going on vacation and during the vacation, he would do routine medical check-up and nothing has changed from what we pushed out last week.

“If anybody has fed something else into the rumour mill, that is just what it is — rumour.”


Asked if Buhari would be willing to talk to Nigerians from the UK, Adesina said such a decision could only be taken by the President himself.

“The fact that he is a President, he still has his rights. Compelling him to come out and talk will be infringing on his rights.

“The President will talk if he wishes to. If he doesn’t wish to, nobody will compel him to talk.

“The truth is that the President is on vacation and he has given a date on which he will return to work,’’ Adesina said.

 Meanwhile, Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, on Thursday dismissed reports saying state governors were planning to send a delegation to confirm the health status of President Muhammadu Buhari in London.

The media was recently awashed with report Buhari’s death, but the Presidency had since denied.


Latest reports had it that state governors had a meeting in Abuja where they planned to send emissary to the United Kingdom in a bid to clarify the Presidency’s claim.

But Mohammed while speaking with members of the Presidential Committee on the Northeast Initiative’s Sub Committee on Economic Development, said there was no need for such emissary because the President is in good shape.

In a statement sent by his Special Adviser, Segun Adeyemi, the Minister, according to Daily Post said, “I think it is very much in order to use this opportunity to debunk the report in a section of the press today (Thursday) that Governors are meeting in Abuja and they will at the end of the meeting send an emissary to London to see President Buhari.

“I want to say categorically and emphatically that there is no iota of truth in this. Governors are not meeting here in Abuja because there is no need for it and there is no plan to send any emissary to London to see the President. Again I want to say that the President is hale and hearty in London where he is observing his 10-day vacation.”

Photo Of 'Dead' Buhari Watching Aide On ChannelsTV Interview From UK Holiday
Wickedly rumoured to have died, the presidency has released pictures of President Muhammadu Buhari holidaying in the United Kingdom.

The latest pictures have further laid to rest the media reports that the president was dead.


There was palpable fear and confusion in the country during the weekend when report cropped up in a section of the media that the president has passed on at the age of 74.

However, the presidency while describing the report as unfounded, said Buhari was alive and enjoying his holiday.

To further confirm the report that the president was not dead, presidential spokesman, Femi Adesina on Monday morning released some pictures of the President watching him (Adesina) as a guest on Channels TV on Sunday.

In the pictures, Buhari was spotted donning a black kaftan and a black cap in a palour while watching Adesina on Channels Television.


He wrote on his official Facebook page, “As he holidays in London, President Muhammadu Buhari keeps abreast with events at home. On Sunday, Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, was guest of Channels Television. President Buhari also kept a date, January 22, 2017.”



APC is a Viable Platform to Change Nigeria – Jonathan’s ex-Aide

APC is a Viable Platform to Change Nigeria – Jonathan’s ex-Aide
Former Managing Director, News Agency of Nigeria, NAN, Ima Niboro, has said that the All Progressive Congress (APC) is a viable platform that will ensure the desired change in the country.

He spoke at the APC National Secretariat while meeting with the party’s National Chairman, John Odigie-Oyegun, on Thursday in Abuja.

Mr. Niboro recently left the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the APC.


He was formally received by APC stalwarts in Ughelli South Local Government Area of Delta on December 5.

The former managing director urged politicians to remain focused and not to distract the President Muhammad Buhari-led administration, adding that it was time to work.

“This is the time to work and not time for making noise.

“It is time for anybody who is a politician to go to the grassroots and work; we should not wait till election time.

“This is the time we should start the processes to convince people that this is a viable platform and once we do that, I am sure we will be able to do very well.”

He described as a “wonderful one’’, his meeting with the APC national chairman whom he said he met last in 1992 when he was governor of Edo.

Mr. Niboro said the APC national chairman ‘’is a father-figure in the South-South”, adding that he had been following Mr. Odigie-Oyegun’s political trajectory for a long time.

He said the APC national chairman received him warmly to the party, adding that he discussed major issues with him, especially issues concerning Delta.

Earlier, the APC national chairman, while receiving Mr. Niboro, expressed satisfaction that he joined the party.

He expressed optimism that Mr. Niboro would bring his political expertise to bear in advancing the party and the country generally.

Mr. Niboro had earlier said his joining APC was to align Delta with the government at the national level and to galvanise development in the state.

“It is not a sudden switch. I have had 18 months to study the situation as it concerned my ward, local government, community and even my state.

“I have to conclude that there is time for everything.

‘’This is the time for us in Delta to link up with the Federal Government in order to bring development to our land,’’ he had said.

Presidency CONFIRMS Chief of Defense Staff, Gen. Olonishakin Will Quit Next Week

Presidency CONFIRMS Chief of Defense Staff, Gen. Olonishakin Will Quit Next Week

 General Gabriel Olonisakin

The Presidency has confirmed that the Chief of Defense Staff, General Gabriel Olonisakin will by next week due to retire from the Army,  having satisfied the official number of years in service.


However, the Presidency has denied plans to replace the service chiefs, Daily Sun Newspaper reports this morning


The Presidency, in a statement issued in Abuja yesterday, Mr Femi Adesina, the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the President said although the CDS is due for retirement next week, “he has yet to be replaced.”


“It is necessary to respond to a fictive story published in today’s (yesterday) edition of a national newspaper to the effect that President Muhammadu Buhari has approved the replacement of Chief of Defence Staff, General Gabriel Olonisakin and Chief of Naval Staff, Vice-Admiral Ibok-Ete Ekwe Ibas, as service chiefs.

“The newspaper, rather than rush to print an unsubstantiated story, would have done better to confirm the information at its disposal, from many available military and government information channels.

“It then would have avoided the self-inflicted wound of publishing a one-legged story that is not completely true, and damaging its brand in the process,” Adesina said.

“Gen. Olonisakin is due to retire from the Army next week, having satisfied the official number of years in service. He has yet to be replaced.

“But the Chief of Naval Staff has a short while more, and President Buhari could, therefore, not have approved his replacement yet,’’ the statement added.

According to Adesina, President Buhari-led administration has repeatedly pledged commitment to transparency and accountability, and one of the hallmarks of that is making information available to the media.

He, however, frowned at some sections of the media who would rather speculate, than cross-check and double check information, saying, “it borders on deliberate mischief.

“That, surely, is not the way to go, for national cohesion and development.’’

Meanwhile, the Minister of Defence, Mansur Dan-Ali, has denied that he directed two service chiefs in question to relinquish their offices and proceed on retirement on or before December 16.

A statement released by his Public Relations Officer, Col. Tukur Gusau, on Monday in Abuja said his attention was drawn to some online publications purporting that he directed the two service chiefs to hand over on that date.

The statement said: “Please be informed that there was no such communication between the office of the Honourable Minister of Defence and the service chiefs directing any one of them to hand over his office and proceed on retirement.

“The appointment and replacement of service chiefs is a prerogative responsibility of the office of the President and Commander in Chief.”

Tinubus "Playing God" Saying He Installed Buhari - Femi Adesina Berates

Tinubus "Playing God" Saying He Installed Buhari - Femi Adesina Berates

femi adesina and tinubu
Mr. Femi Adesina, the Special Adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari on media and publicity has berated the supporters of the national leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed over the insinuation that the former Lagos State Governor was betrayed by the President after he (Tinubu) helped installed him as the President.

Adesina answering questions in a very recent interview granted to Vanguard News said saying that Tinubu installed Buhari as President is playing God.

Buhari's media aide in the rebuttal answer said; 


"You are a journalist and a political watcher.    You can say whether somebody installed another person.    I am sure as a political watcher you know it."

"You know that getting to political office is usually a combination of factors.    Each person has a role he plays and so, I don’t think anybody can come out to say, “I installed this person.”    No, it is a wrong word.    That person would then be playing God." 

However, Adesina posited that Tinubu is a political force whose contribution among others peoples' too made Buhari the President.

"Asiwaju Tinubu is a political force to reckon with.    He played his own part in the emergence of President Buhari and that is why the President has high respect for him," Adesina said.

He also revealed that President Muhammadu Buhari has a very high regard for Tinubu.

Rice Importation NOT Banned As Widely Reported - Presidency Clears The Air

Rice Importation NOT Banned As Widely Reported - Presidency Clears The Air

Rice Importation NOT Banned As Widely Reported - FG Clears The Air
The Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to President Muhammadu Buhari, Femi Adesina, has decried the widespread propaganda that the Federal Government has place on outright ban on rice importation.

Adesina said this when he appeared on SweetFm’s flagship programme, The Podium.

He said the government only placed a ban on rice importation via land borders.

He said the ban on rice importation via land borders was placed so as to curtail smuggling and ensure revenue generation from rice importation.


“Importation of rice via our sea borders remain legal,” Adesina said.

Adesina equally said he would have done all he could to stop his appointment as Buhari’s media aide if he had a hint about it.
He said: “I was not expecting it.

“Maybe if I knew, I would have done all in my powers to make sure it does not happen.

“I have known him since he started contesting and wrote good things about him, but I did not know he will appoint me as his adviser.”
Adesina equally argued that Buhari’s anti-corruption fight is not selective.

He said chieftains of Buhari’s party, the All Progressives Congress and political appointees are not being prosecuted because no evidence has indicted them yet.

He said: “The onus lies on he who alleges to also prove.

“The fact that any Peoples Democratic Party member crosses to APC does not provide automatic shield.
“Whoever is indicted will be prosecuted.”

Adesina further noted that the Buhari-led Federal Government is paying more than lip service to diversification of the nation’s economy.
He said: “We have gotten to the point in which we have to diversify or die.

“The Federal Government has disbursed money so as to heavily invest in agriculture and mining.

“Dr. Fayemi has told us that the results of the ongoing investment may not be clearly seen in less than 30 years.
“However, we will lay the foundation.”

Adesina equally said the raid on judges homes was only a raid on corruption and not the judiciary.
He said: “Mr. President has said it all.

“No one is out to intimidate the judiciary.

“The Department of State Services raid was a raid on corruption not the judiciary.”

While responding to questions about Buhari’s reaction to the interview by his wife, Hajia Aisha, Adesina insisted that the President has a right to his privacy and his family matter should not be a subject of discourse in the news.

I'll Show You HELL, Angry Buhari Tells Looters

I'll Show You HELL, Angry Buhari Tells Looters

MUHAMMADU BUHARI
Angered as the HEIGHT of corruption, especially those involved in #DasukiGate, President Muhammadu Buhari has reiterated his resolved to mete out  severe punishment to those culpable.

President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday said although those who shared funds meant for the purchase of arms for the nation’s military are currently regretting their actions, they would regret more.

The President, according to his media aide, Femi Adesina, while speaking with a delegation of the Northern Christian Leaders Eagles Eyes Forum at the Presidential Villa, Abuja said all those caught in his administration’s ongoing anti-corruption war would have themselves to blame.

The President thanked the Christian leaders for their support to the Federal Government’s anti-corruption campaign and other policies geared towards reviving the economy, promising to do more.

He said, “It is saddening that some of those who stole from our national resources put the money in their personal accounts.

“However, it is gratifying that those who stole money and shared funds meant for the purchase of arms for our military are regretting their actions and they will regret more.

“Those caught in corruption will have themselves to blame.”

Buhari promised that his administration would not hide anything from Nigerians in its commitment to restore the economic fortunes of the country and deliver prosperity to Nigerians.

He appealed to the religious leaders not to lose hope in the unity, stability and progress of the country.

The President said the Federal Government would continue to prioritise the safety of lives and property, in addition to equipping Nigerian farmers with the right tools, technology and techniques to boost agriculture.

“You must tell your followers the truth about the country. We have nothing to hide because we have no other country but Nigeria.

“Tell them to give us a chance to stabilise the country. Your concern for the security, unemployment, anti-corruption campaign and the frequent altercations between herdsmen and farmers are genuine concerns.

“I know the Ministry of Agriculture and the Governors Forum are doing a lot to resolve the lingering crisis between herdsmen and farmers, we must give them a chance,” the President said.

The leader of the delegation, Pastor Aminchi Habu, was reported to have called on Nigerians to support the President’s anti-corruption war and his vision to restore the lost glory of Nigeria.

“In your administration, I see a new Nigeria where the fear of bribery, corruption and extortion is the beginning of wisdom.

“I see a new Nigeria, where tribalism, religion and ethnicity will no longer be a barrier that separates us but a bond that unites us for a greater tomorrow,’’ he said.
