Former Presidential spokesman Femi Adesina has revealed how President Muhammadu Buhari debunked claims by Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), that he was replaced by a clone named ‘Jubril of Sudan.’
In his book titled ‘Working with Buhari: Reflections Of A Special Adviser, Media And Publicity (2015 – 2023)’, Adesina detailed an incident that occurred upon Buhari’s return from a medical trip to London in 2019.
Kanu had alleged that the President had died and been replaced by an imposter during his absence.
Adesina recounted that upon Buhari’s return, he personally greeted everyone at the airport, making witty remarks along the way.
When he reached Adesina, he commented on his attire, acknowledging it as the best he had seen him dressed.
Reflecting on the incident, Adesina stated, “When later, some people began to spread unfounded stories that the man that returned to the country on that August 19 was not the real Buhari, but a clone, named Jubril of Sudan, I just found it preposterous, even otiose.
My response was usually that if the person was a certain Jubril, how did he know my name, and commenting on my dressing? Pathetic people. Pitiable.”
Adesina’s account in his book serves as a testament to President Buhari’s authenticity, debunking the conspiracy theories surrounding his identity.
