We Should Understand President Buhari, We Elected Him Willingly – Adesina

The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr Femi Adesina says Nigerians ought to by now, understand the personality of the President, Muhammadu Buhari.

He said this during a phone conversation with Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily while being asked why the President did not consider a video recording to address Nigerians formally since his absence.

“It is a matter of personal style, there is no style that you can call ‘the’ style. The style of our President is what you have seen on display and by now two years after he came, I am sure that we should understand him.

“We should know the kind of person he is, we should know how he prefers to do things and that is how the President is.
