Special Adviser On Media and Publicity to ex-president Muhammadu Buhari, Femi Adesina has said that his emergence as the former president’s spokesman is a “demonstration of God’s grace upon my life”.
Adesina, a journalist, who served in the position between 2015 and 2023 spoke on Tuesday at the public presentation of his book: “Working with Buhari: Reflections of A Special Adviser, Media, and Publicity (2015-2023)”.
“To me, I have always told people that working with President Muhammadu Buhari is a demonstration of God’s grace in my life,” he said
“From nowhere, without lifting a finger to push it, I was invited to assume the position of a Special Adviser on Media and Publicity. It was a former Ekiti State governor Dr Kayode Fayemi – he is in the audience – who told me how it happened. He said after President Buhari had emerged, they took three names to him as possible Special Adviser on Media and Publicity. He looked at the three names, brought out his pen from his breast pocket, circled my name, and signed in front of it. That was how it happened.”
