“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.” -Vice President Yemi Osinbajo says about President Buhari.
Ahead of presentation, between 8 and 9pm of this Sunday December 24 on NTA Network and Monday December 25 on ChannelsTV respectively, of a documentary entitled, “The Human Side of President Buhari”, the Presidency in furtherance to its Saturday’s breaking of the news has provided further information on what to expect from the documentary, which it calls “Teasers from the documentary on Buhari: Beyond the Iron and Steel”.
Given by no other than the same Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, who broke the news in a statement he issued in Abuja on Saturday, members of the public Sunday morning were told in another release on what to expect in the documentary, which many Nigerians have now looked up to, saying they no longer can wait to watch.
The teasers about the documentary on President Buhari, said to contain comments and interviews granted by the President and other people about the President, include all of the following but not the least:
“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.” -Vice President Yemi Osinbajo.
“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.” Mr Babatunde Raji Fashola, Minister of Power, Works and Housing.
“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.” Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, Kaduna State Governor.
“I wish I had his patience. He would listen to everybody, and then take a decision. He is a reformed democrat.” Governor Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun State.
“How I wish Nigerians know his softer and accommodating side. Very jocular. But it is our duty to tell them.” Abike Dabiri, Senior Special Assistant on Diaspora Matters.
Reiterating the readiness of the Media and Publicity Department of the State House to release the much publicized documentary Sunday December 24 and Monday December 25 on NTA and ChannelsTV respectively, the President’s SAMP, Mr. Femi Adesina, asked the public through the new release on the teasers to “Keep a date at 8p.m Sunday, December 24 on NTA, and same time on Christmas day on Channels Television, for documentary on the unknown side of President Muhammadu Buhari, courtesy Office of Special Adviser, Media and Publicity,” the release said, adding that it would be “Something to spice up the holiday season.”
