Former Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to ex-President Muhammadu Buhari, Femi Adesina, has stated that the deceased never demanded a \u201cdime\u201d from the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL).<\/h2>\n
He asserted that the former president was devoid of corruption during his lifetime.<\/p>\n
The former presidential spokesman stated that this was disclosed to him by the former NNPCL Group Managing Director, Mele Kyari.<\/p>\n
Adesina, in a lengthy article in honour of Buhari, stated that the late President\u2019s friends paid the school fees of his children.<\/p>\n
According to Adesina, \u201cI must stop, though there are hundreds of stories still to tell.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cHow he refused the gift of an SUV from a contractor; instruction he gave Minister Babatunde Fashola to build the Second Niger Bridge, Lagos\/Ibadan, Enugu\/Port Harcourt, and Abuja-Kaduna-Kano expressways; how Mele Kyari, NNPCL GMD, told me Buhari never asked for a dime from the corporation that was a gravy train for many former leaders; what the President told me after his son, Yusuf, had a bike accident; how his friends paid the fees of his children through school; his phone chats with Rev. Chris Okotie, Duro Onabule, Tunji Braithwaite, among others.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cPresident Buhari was an icon, a unique man. Perfect? No man is. His shortcomings, as little as they are, have been interred with his bones. The good he did lives after him.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n
