President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is expected as the special guest of honour at the public presentation of “Working with Buhari”, a book by Mr Femi Adesina, former special adviser to president Muhammadu Buhari on media and publicity on Tuesday, January 16 in Abuja.
President Tinubu and his predecessor, Buhari would appear publicly together after the handover on May 29, 2023, at the presentation to be held at the Transcorp Hilton.
Former Head of State, General Yakubu Gowon is expected as chairman on the occasion, while General I.B.M Haruna is co-chairman.
Dignitaries to grace the book presentation include a royal delegation from Saudi Arabia, led by Prince Abdulaziz Bin Faisal Al Saud, while Alhaji Mohammed Indimi, would be the chief launcher.
Chairman of the Planning Committee for the book, Malam Garba Deen Muhammad, described the event as a “historic moment” in a press statement in Abuja.
“The book will provide insight unlikely to be found anywhere else; because Femi will be telling his story from a morally strong position.
“Those who know Femi are very familiar with his unwavering loyalty to his principal, former president Muhammadu Buhari. The book will reveal Femi’s motivation; and why Buhari was, is, and will likely remain his hero. It is, in one sentence, ‘a study in loyalty.’”
The book, published by Safari Books, is a memoir of Adesina’s eight years in office as special adviser to Buhari on Media and Publicity – an office that afforded him a front-row seat in Buhari’s government.
