‘Buhari never asked NNPCL for a dime, friend paid his children’s school fees’ – Femi Adesina
Former Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to ex-President Muhammadu Buhari, Femi Adesina, has disclosed that the deceased was devoid of corruption during his lifetime.
Adesina said Buhari never demanded a “dime” from the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL).
The former presidential spokesman said this was disclosed to him by former NNPCL Group Managing Director, Mele Kyari.
In a lengthy article in honour of Buhari, Adesina disclosed that the late President’s friends paid the school fees of his children.
According to Adesina: “I must stop, though there are hundreds of stories still to tell.
“How he refused the gift of an SUV from a contractor; instruction he gave Minister Babatunde Fashola to build the Second Niger Bridge, Lagos/Ibadan, Enugu/Port Harcourt, and Abuja-Kaduna-Kano expressways; how Mele Kyari, NNPCL GMD, told me Buhari never asked for a dime from the corporation that was a gravy train for many former leaders; what the President told me after his son, Yusuf, had a bike accident; how his friends paid the fees of his children through school; his phone chats with Rev. Chris Okotie, Duro Onabule, Tunji Braithwaite, among others.
“President Buhari was an icon, a unique man. Perfect? No man is. His shortcomings, as little as they are, have been interred with his bones. The good he did lives after him.”
