Former Presidential Spokesperson, Femi Adesina, has accused some individuals of twisting the content of his new book, ‘Reflections of a Special Adviser, Media and Publicity, (2015-2023)’. Adesina served as the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to former President Mohammadu Buhari and launched the book on January 16.
The book covers some political events that took place during Buhari’s administration, and reports suggest that it includes details of how the former president considered the extradition of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, amid plots to assassinate him abroad.
Another report claims that Abba Kyari, who served as the Chief of Staff to Buhari until his death from COVID-19 in 2020, frustrated Adesina’s job as the presidential spokesman by denying him access to Buhari for about five years.
However, Adesina has denied these claims and stated that the reports are false. He claims that the content of his book was misinterpreted, and the opposite of what was reported was disseminated.
The post reads, “Contortionists have begun to twist the content of my book, ‘Working with Buhari.’ They claim I said COS Abba Kyari denied me access to PMB for 5 years.
“They lie that there was a plot to kill Nnamdi Kanu abroad. Very opposite of things I wrote. And it’s written in English”.
