Verbatim: President Buhari tells Akinwunmi Adesina

President Buhari, right and Akinwunmi Adesina

“In 2015, when you were to be elected for the first term, I wrote to all African leaders, recommending you for the position. I didn’t say because you were a People’s Democratic Party (PDP) Minister, and I belonged to the All Progressives Congress (APC), so I would withhold my support. I’ll remain consistent with you, because no one has faulted the step I took on behalf of Nigeria.”

-President Muhammadu Buhari
