The immediate past former Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, has described the book by Femi Adesina, a former Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to former President Muhammadu Buhari, as \u201cvery wise and proactive\u201d, as it gives the \u201cthe most reliable account\u2019 of his experiences at the Aso Rock Presidential Villa, Abuja.<\/p>\n
Professor Osinbajo made the comment in Lagos over the weekend when Adesina formally presented a copy of the book, entitled: Working With Buhari; Reflections of a Special Adviser, Media and Publicity (2015-2023), to the former Vice President.<\/p>\n
The book will be launched on Tuesday, January 16, 2024, at the Transcorp Hilton, Abuja from 10 a.m. prompt.<\/p>\n
Receiving the work, published by Safari Books Ltd, Osinbajo commended its quality and the speed at which Adesina churned it out, coming just seven months after they left office.<\/p>\n
On the idea of the author coming up with the publication at this point in time, Osinbajo said:<\/p>\n
\u201cI think it is a very wise and proactive approach. I think it is wise to do so especially because he was an insider. He has all the information about the personal issues, personal details that are covered in the book. It is the right thing to do, so that he defines the narrative ahead, and anyone else who wants to write would have to use this as their soft material. Obviously, this is the most reliable account of his experiences in there.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lauding the quality of the book, and the richness of information in it, Osinbajo posited that it is \u201cin many ways a personal discussion or conversation with Nigerians about who President Buhari was.\u201d And Adesina is \u201cpossibly the person who would best represent who the (former) President was.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to Osinbajo, this is more so as Adesina has all the \u201cthe kind of care and attention that would be required to do a proper and in-depth analysis\u201d of the era.<\/p>\n
The former Vice President added everything up and described the book \u201can honest account\u201d.<\/p>\n
Expected at the launch on January 16, are President Bola Ahmed Tinubu who is the Special Guest of Honour; the subject of the book, former President Muhammadu Buhari, as Special Guest; while former Head of State, General Yakubu Gowon, and General I.B.M. Haruna are Chairman and Co-Chairman, respectively.<\/p>\n
A royal delegation from the Saudi Arabia Royal Family, led by HRH Prince Abdulaziz Bin Faisal Al Saud, will grace the occasion that will have Alhaji Mohammed Indimi, billionaire businessman and founder\/chairman of Oriental Energy Resources Limited, as Chief Launcher.<\/p>\n
