Femi Adesina, the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to former President Muhammadu Buhari, revealed that he cried and was hesitant when he was approached by the former President to work for him.
Adesina made this known on Saturday in Ibadan during a book reading session of his book titled ‘Working with Buhari: Reflections of A Special Adviser, Media and Publicity (2015 – 2023)’.
The book reading section was anchored by Michael Olatunbosun, a broadcast journalist, who engaged Adesina in an interactive dialogue regarding his book and work with Buhari.
In the course of reading some sections of the 488-page book, whose forward was written by former President Muhammadu Buhari, Adesina stressed that the book was “about the Buhari software, not the hardware” the kind of person he was, what motivated him, his intent about Nigeria, and some of his achievements as president.
Speaking on how he reacted when Buhari asked him to work for him and how he felt when he was about to resign from his work as the Managing Director/Editor-in-Chief of The Sun newspaper, the former presidential adviser said he cried because he was leaving the known for the unknown, unsure of what the future held.
