Buhari to Adesina: Thanks for holding out against mischief makers
Femi Adesina |
Mr Femi Adesina, Special Adviser on Media and
Publicity to the President, on Saturday, said he spoke with President Muhammadu
Buhari who is currently on medical vacation in London.
Adesina confirmed this
development on his twitter handle on Saturday in Abuja. The presidential
spokesman said Buhari acknowledged his (Adesina) efforts“ for holding out
against mischief makers”. Adesina said on his twitter handle: “Spoke with
President Muhammadu Buhari 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. “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.’’ Newsmen report that
Adesina is the latest person the President spoke to from his London abode in
the last few days.
The President had similar phone conversations with
governors of Kano and Katsina states, Abdullahi Ganduje and Aminu Masari
respectively, this week. Many Nigerians have also embarked on prayer sessions
in mosques and churches for the quick recovery of the president, who is on bed
rest in London.
The President, Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Rev.
Samson Ayokunle in a statement, urged Nigerians, especially Christians not to
cease praying for the president, acting president and the country “until he (President
Buhari) returns in good health and sound mind.’’ President Buhari had earlier
in a statement issued by Adesina thanked millions of Nigerians who had been
sending good wishes to him. He revealed that the results of the test conducted
on him indicated that he needed a longer period of rest, necessitating his
staying longer than originally planned.
