The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Diaspora Matters, Abike Dabiri said many Nigerians are not aware of President Muhammadu Buhari’s softer and accommodating side.
She said she wished many know that the president is not all about the firm approach but he is also a soft man who is jocular as well.
Dabiri said this in a documentary, “Buhari: Beyond the Iron and Steel” put together by the President’s media team.

“How I wish Nigerians know his softer and accommodating side. Very jocular. But it is our duty to tell them,” she said.
The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina earlier today released teasers from the documentary on Buhari: Beyond the Iron and Steel saying the documentary is aimed to spice up the holiday season.
Vice President Yemi Osinbajo in the interview said, “He gives you things to do and leaves you strictly to do those things. No interference at all, once he has confidence in you… And he cracks those jokes and manages to still keep a straight face.”
Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Mr Babatunde Raji Fashola said, “He gave me some priority projects: Mokwa/Jebba road, Lagos/Ibadan Expressway, and Second Niger Bridge… He never appends his signature to anything, unless you’ve explained, and he understands it.”
Kaduna State governor, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai said, “When we were in the opposition, you needed to see how we rolled on the floor in his living room, as we laughed. Of course, we can’t do that again now.”
Governor Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun State, “I wish I had his patience. He would listen to everybody and then take a decision. He is a reformed Democrat.”
The documentary will be aired at 8:00 p.m on December 24 and 25 on Channels Television and NTA to show the documentary on the unknown side of President Muhammadu Buhari.
