Reuben Abati made wild claims, evil spirits not in Aso Rock — Femi Adesina

-

On claims made by Abati about the Villa, Adesina said he slept peacefully in his house for eight years without experiencing anything strange.

Special Adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, has debunked claims by his predecessor, Reuben Abati, that evil spirits exist in Aso Rock.

Abati, who was spokesman to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, claimed in a 2016 article titled ‘The spiritual side of Aso Rock’ that there was “a force higher than what we can imagine” at the seat of power.

Abati further noted that a cleric said Aso Rock was “full of evil spirits” and that the State House “should be converted into a museum and abandoned.”

Reacting to his predecessor’s claims, Adesina said in an article titled ‘The good in goodbye’ and published on Friday that he slept in the house apportioned to him in the Presidential Villa for eight years without experiencing Abati’s “wild claims.”

Adesina said, “My predecessor in office (read, ancestor) Dr Reuben Abati, had alleged that Aso Villa is haunted, and should be turned to a museum. Abandoned. True? I didn’t see any of his rather wild claims, not in eight years.

“To the glory of God, I never experienced anything like this. Human beings normally face one vicissitude or the other, it is part of life. But God equally spares His own. No ailment to nurse, other than things typical of aspiring senior citizens like me. And nothing died under the waist.

“Well, I slept in my house in the Villa for eight years. And I snored, even so loudly to wake myself up. So, it’s really different strokes for different folks. And it really has nothing to do with Aso Villa. Yes, sound sleep is another good in goodbye.”
