Special Adviser to President Buhari, Femi Adesina, describes his boss as an unyielding but affectionate man.
Adesina, in his weekly article, ‘Fridays With Adesina’ dismissed all accusations laid out against Buhari and said the president is not a wicked leader.
According to the presidential spokesman, Nigerians who keep accusing the president do not have knowledge of his personality.
He also stated that the president’s affectionate nature is one main reason they did not leave him to face the crisis that beset Nigeria alone.
Adesina said, “Let us not be quick to believe what we don’t know or understand. President Buhari might be unyielding, strict but he is not wicked.
“In the days of Gen Murtala Ramat Muhammed as head of state, one senior military officer described him as a bully, ‘a kind-hearted bully.’
“Same with Buhari. Not a bully, but an unbending leader with an affectionate heart. A man who always finds a way to show kindness to both the living and the dead.
“You now see why some of us have chosen to follow the President through thick and thin? “Blessed be he of the Lord, who has not left off his kindness to the living and the dead.”
