Former presidential spokesman, Femi Adesina, addressed claims of the Aso Villa being haunted during his appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today. Adesina, who served as spokesman for President Muhammadu Buhari from May 2015 to May 2023, refuted the assertions made by his predecessor, Reuben Abati, in 2016.
“I didn’t see anything like that; no witches, no wizards, nothing like that in the Villa,” remarked Adesina when asked about Abati’s claims. He shared that he slept soundly at the Villa for eight years, stating, “I slept in my house for eight years, not only did I sleep but I was snoring. I snored so much that I woke myself up with the sound of my snores; that showed I was at peace.”
Adesina humorously dismissed Abati’s account, recounting that Abati had claimed the house given to him in the Villa was haunted, preventing him from spending a night there.
Adesina expressed that if President Goodluck Jonathan had won the 2015 election and re-appointed Abati, he would have continued staying at the allegedly haunted Villa.
Earlier on Tuesday, Adesina launched his book, ‘Working with Buhari: Reflections of A Special Adviser, Media, and Publicity (2015-2023)’ in Abuja.
The event was attended by notable figures, including his ex-principal President Buhari, President Bola Tinubu, and ex-Head of State, Yakubu Gowon, among other dignitaries.
