Former presidential spokesman, Femi Adesina, has once again refuted claims that the Aso Villa in Abuja is haunted, asserting that he experienced eight years of sound sleep during his tenure as the spokesman for President Muhammadu Buhari.
Adesina made these remarks during an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today program on Tuesday. Responding to questions about earlier claims by his predecessor, Reuben Abati, in 2016, Adesina stated, “I didn’t see anything like that; no witches, no wizards, nothing like that in the Villa.”
Abati had previously mentioned that he did not spend a single night in the house allocated to him at the Villa, citing a mysterious fire outbreak when he attempted to sleep there.
In contrast, Adesina humorously shared his experience, saying, “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.”
He further commented that had then President Goodluck Jonathan won the 2015 election and retained Abati, the haunted allegations wouldn’t have deterred him from staying at the Villa.
Adesina’s statements came on the heels of the launch of his book, ‘Working with Buhari: Reflections of A Special Adviser, Media, and Publicity (2015-2023),’ held in Abuja.
The event attracted notable dignitaries, including President Buhari, President Bola Tinubu, and ex-Head of State Yakubu Gowon. Adesina’s reflections in the book provide insights into his tenure as a presidential spokesman and dispel lingering rumors about supernatural occurrences at the Aso Villa.
