Posterity Will Be Impartial, Kind To President Buhari — Adesina

The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, has said that posterity will be impartial and kind to President Muhammadu Buhari ahead of his handover on May 29.

Speaking via his weekly article titled ‘NG-CARES: HOW BUHARI QUIETLY ATTENDS TO NEEDS OF NIGERIANS’, Adesina noted that his principal will be remembered for his many accomplishments by fair Nigerians.

According to him, the president who has the interest of citizens at heart worked assiduously for the betterment of the country with his “care and kindness to Nigerians”.

“Some revisionists are busy, trying to obfuscate issues and obliterate the achievements of the Buhari administration.

“But truth is like cork in water. The more you press it down, the more it stays afloat.

“After he retires to his native Daura, in Katsina State, we will always be glad that the honest man was here.

“I mean those who are fair-minded, but who happen to number in scores of millions.

“The judgement of history is usually the most enduring, and as President Muhammadu Buhari weighs anchor in less than three weeks, posterity will be impartial, and, therefore, kind to him.

“One signpost of the administration is its care and kindness to Nigerians. Quietly. Without fuss. No adulation or self-aggrandisement”, Adesina stated.

“These welfarist interventions give a window into the kind soul of the President, a man some people have not bothered to discern, dissect and decipher.

“They just deliberately stay in the trenches of the past, soused and marooned in apocryphal beliefs: oh, he ruled with an iron fist as a military leader.

“He herded people into jail. He imprisoned journalists through Decree 4. He also had Decree 2, which gave him the power to detain anyone indefinitely.

“No human face. He’s a Fulani, and therefore, a herdsman, who supports his people to attack farmers.

“Religious bigot, who does not recognize any other faith. True? False. And I should know.

“Why? Because I’ve worked with him closely for eight years, and I can say I know the man Muhammadu Buhari, apart from the myth and the deliberate misconceptions”, he added.
