The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity,
Femi Adesina, has disclosed that Nigerians will appreciate the President, Muhammadu
Buhari, after he leaves office on May 29, 2023.
He said beyond those who seek to rewrite history and
remember his (Buhari’s) regime for all the wrong reasons, his principal would
be remembered for many achievements by fair Nigerians.
Adesina disclosed this in his weekly article titled
‘NG-CARES: HOW BUHARI QUIETLY ATTENDS TO NEEDS OF NIGERIANS’, where he reeled
out some of the achievements of the President.
He argued that Buhari has the interest of Nigerians at heart
and worked assiduously for the betterment of the country with his “care and
kindness to Nigerians”.
According to him, history will adequately record the many
ways in which President Buhari has quietly cared for 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,’ he wrote.
Adesina added, “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.”
On some of Buhari’s interventions, Adesina wrote, “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
military leader. He herded people into jail. He imprisoned journalists through
Decree 4. He also had Decree 2, which gave him 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.”
