“A debilitating illness came,” said Femi Adesina, who is President Muhammadu Buhari’s media adviser, in a Facebook post on Friday. “All sorts of things, physical and spiritual, were thrown at him, just to get rid of the man who would not steal, and not allow people to steal,” Adesina said. The presidential aide once denied that his boss went to London for medical treatment. In fact, the presidency claimed Buhari was in London between January 19 March 10, 2017, to “undergo routine medical check-ups” during a short holiday. The same adversaries that wanted to get rid of Buhari spread those rumours, Adesina insisted.
