Femi Adesina spoke with Vanguard in an exclusive interview about Buhari's plans in the coming days in his office at the State House in the Presidential Villa, Abuja on Thursday night July 16.
The presidential spokesman on media and publicity to President Buhari insisted that the 72-year-old president (Buhari) will probe the immediate past government.
Here's what he had to share with Vanguard.
''He (Buhari) can’t afford to go too deep into the past or else it will be destructive for his administration,'' Adesina said. ''There are some things you can’t close your eyes to while you don’t want to shine the torchlight into the dark recesses of our past; immediate past where things are evident. The Yoruba have a saying that the corpse we buried, the leg is sticking out and, if you bury a corpse and the leg is sticking out, you can’t pretend. When there are trails all over of the monies in billions and trillions, then a responsible government can’t close its eyes to that.''
On Buhari's Age to deliver on campaign promises.
''You have heard the saying that old wines are tastier. Buhari is like a wine that gets better with age,'' he told Vanguard. ''I said this earlier and, I repeat again, he gets better with age; sound, sober, contemplative, not rash. You see what is happening now, Boards have been dissolved. There are terminations and new appointments. You know he could have done that in the very first week and then he could have made mistakes, but this is the sixth week and he is doing all those things and I think, at the end of it, all Nigerians will be glad that they elected him. I don’t foresee failure; no, it will not happen, but it will demand that Nigerians will give him support and work with him but I believe in the change that was promised to this country.''
