Why I wrote a book about Buhari - Femi Adesina

During a press briefing in Abuja on Thursday, January 11, Femi Adesina clarified that he authored the book to reveal Buhari's authentic personality to the Nigerian public.

This aims to counter the speculations frequently presented by certain individuals regarding the former Nigerian military leader.

As quoted by Vanguard, Adesina said:

“I just felt that the true narrative that gives out Buhari in blood and flesh should be written in that book.

"The book gives answers to some of the key decisions that Buhari took and exposes the real Buhari and not the conjectures by his opponents."

Adesina expressed his departure from the office with a deep sense of contentment and happiness, attributing it to President Buhari's significant appreciation for his efforts and value.
