Jubril al Sudan: Adesina opens up on Buhari ‘being cloned’ in 2017

 


As President Muhammadu Buhari Mark’s 78th birthday in Daura, Katsina on Friday, his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, has addressed claims that the former Head of State died during a medical vacation in London in 2017. 

The rumour of Buhari being dead and cloned has lingered for years in the country, with many people believing that the man in Aso Villa is not Muhammadu Buhari but Jubril from Sudan. 

In a statement he made available to newsmen on Friday, Adesina told some stories to make Nigerians believe that the claims were false. 

“This is Jubril from Sudan and not Muhammadu Buhari, who had died during the medical vacation in 2017, some people say. You have a cloned in Aso Villa, not Buhari. Idiocy, sadly believed by even some intellectuals, ” he said.

“Let me tell you a story. On the day the President finally returned to the country in August 2017, after months of absence, the Chief of Defence Staff, Gen Abayomi Olonisakin, was giving out his daughter in marriage. 

“I had attended the church service, decked unusually in complete Agbada, with a cap match. From the wedding, I went straight to the airport to join the reception party. 

“We formed a welcome line, as we usually do. And as the President shook each person, he had one wisecrack or the other to say. When he got to me, he took my hand and said: ‘Adesina, this is the best I've seen you dressed.’ 

“We both laughed heartily, and the television cameras captured it. I remember that many people asked me later what had tickled me and the President, that we laughed so uproariously. 

“Jubril from Sudan? Would he know my name as Adesina? Would he know I rarely were Agbada? How ridiculous can some people be?”

Kanu, Igboho won’t break Nigeria, Tafawa-Balewa’s spirit should be appeased

 The Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has hinted that Nigeria will break up.  Primate Ayodele noted that Nigeria's break up would not be though Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, or Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho.  While speaking with newsmen, the cleric said some powerful forces like the spirit of Nigeria's nationalist, Abubakar Tafawa-Balewa would lead to Nigeria's peaceful break-up.  He warned that if Nigerians fail to appease Tafa-Balewa’s spirit and these other powerful forces, the country will break up peacefully.  Primate Ayodele, however, urged the government not to ignore the cries of IPOB and those agitating for the Oduduwa Republic because that would also lead to the country's disintegration.  He said: “The spirit of Igbo is no more in Nigeria, and since their spirit is no more in Nigeria, the country will break peacefully. It's not this IPOB, Oduduwa, that will brea...
