Buhari speaks with Adesina, says 'greet your family'

Mr. Femi Adesina, the Special Adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari on Media and Publicity, says he has spoken to the number one citizen in London.

Adesina who had always maintained that Buhari is ‘hale and hearty’ had always told Nigerians that though he has not spoken to the president, he speaks with those around him in London.

Adesina took to his twitter handle on Saturday saying, “Spoke with PMB 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”.

According to him, the president thanked him for holding out against mischief makers.

“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”, he tweeted.

He however did not say if the president sent any message to Nigerians.

Adesina is the latest person to say he has spoken to the president ever since Buhari left the country on January 19 for a medical vacation in London, United Kingdom.

A few individuals, with the last being the Kano state governor, Abdullahi Ganduje claim to have spoken with the president who reportedly told them he is doing fine and only needs to rest.

More recent reports also claim that he spoke with the governor of his home state, Katsina, Bello Masari.

Buhari had initially informed the Senate that he was taking a ten day vacation, handed over power to the Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, who has been in acting capacity since then.

Buhari however, at the expiration of the ten days sent another letter to the Senate that he is taking more days to attend to his health, as he awaits results of medical tests conducted.

    Adesina should go for thanksgiving because he spoke with Buhari. His mates are striving to call Jesus Christ directly, he’s here bothering us about his communication with Buhari, nonesene!

      You are a fool. Speaking to his boss means alot. Baba buhari is sound and sane so no cause for alarm. Allahu subuwatawahalata brings you safe back to Nigeria soon.

    Well, Femi Adesina among others really deserves to speak with the president directly, he has been up and doing in discharging his duties (of covering up for Buhari) since Mr President left. At least his “getting in touch with London daily” has yielded to direct conversation with Buhari. Cool
