Buhari May Speak To Nigerians By Phone Soon – Presidency Opens Up


While speaking on Monday night during a live political programme on Channels TV, Femi Adesina, the presidential special assistant on media and publicity, disclosed that President Buhari may speak by telephone to Nigerians.
When asked if the President will speak to Nigerians for the first time since he embarked on a medical vacation to London, he responded; “Yes, he (Buhari) said maybe and I also say maybe” when asked.”

Adesina said that as the President’s spokesman, he could only transmit what was told to him, and reiterated that until President Buhari had an “all-clear” on his health, he will not return to the country.
He further assured that President Trump will not undo all the positive agreements Nigeria had with the United States of America under Barack Obama stressing that the positive bilateral relationship between the two nations will continue. .

Adesina said: “Yes, he (Buhari) said maybe, he will speak to Nigerians by phone, and I also say maybe.
“That issue of his coming back is already in the public domain in the letter that was transmitted to the National Assembly. He said as soon as he has an ‘all-clear’ on his health, he’ll be back. I think that issue has been settled.
“I communicate what has been told to me. Unless I receive a definite communication that says the president will be back on this date. Then, I can say. Otherwise, I’ll just be making a guess, if I say anything that has not been said to me. Don’t forget that I’m a spokesman. I speak for somebody. I communicate what has been transmitted to me.

“Remember Trump said America will be number one, America will be number two, and America will be number three. So anything that is in the interest of American that the previous government did. I’m sure this Trump administration will continue.
“We know that governance is a continuum. I don’t think one government will come in and obliterate all the positive things that have been done by the previous administration as long as it is positive; and, in the interest of the country.”
