Buhari not a bigot, he mentioned Jesus when Osinbajo survived helicopter crash — Femi Adesina.

 

FCT, Abuja - A former presidential aide, Femi Adesina, said former President Muhammadu Buhari called the name ‘Jesus’ when his Vice, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, survived a helicopter crash in February 2019. Adesina disclosed this in the book titled, ‘Working with Buhari: Reflections of A Special Adviser, Media, and Publicity (2015-2023)’. 

According to moskolainoblog.com Adesina said Buhari is far from the bigot most perceive him to be. 

“The Vice President survived a helicopter crash in 2019. The President publicly rejoiced with him, and then at the next Federal Executive Council meeting, he congratulated the VP again. “Jocularly, he said: ‘I can imagine that when the chopper crashed with a bang, VP as a pastor must have shouted, Jesus! Jesus! Jesus! And fortunately, Jesus was not far away, so He saved him’. “We all laughed. But one instructive lesson. Bigots don’t like Jesus. They never want to hear His name, or attribute anything miraculous to Him.”

Meanwhile, moskolaino.blogspot.com reported that Adesina disclosed that Buhari and his entourage narrowly averted a potential air disaster in November 2015. The incident occurred a mere six months after Buhari assumed the presidency of Nigeria. 

According to the book, the harrowing ordeal transpired as President Buhari was en route to the Island of Malta to participate in a crucial Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting. The presidential aircraft encountered severe turbulence, causing a sustained period of distressing conditions that heightened the risk of a catastrophic plane crash. Why Buhari did not eliminate Nnamdi Kanu Adesina explained how Buhari’s government did a favour to the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu. The former presidential aide disclosed that the federal government led by Buhari did Kanu a favour by extraditing him to Nigeria.
