Recall that Osinbajo escaped death in February 2019 as his helicopter crash-landed in Kogi state.
Adesina cited the former president as saying “Jesus was not far away, he saved you”, when congratulating the then Vice President.
This is contained in his book titled, ‘Working with Buhari: Reflections of A Special Adviser, Media, and Publicity (2015-2023)’.
According to the former presidential spokesperson, Buhari said is far from the bigot most perceive him to be.
He wrote: “Bigot? I hear. Our first Christmas in government. December 2015. I wanted to spend the season in Lagos. And I asked him for permission.
“By all means, he answered. I know the Vice President, yourself, and some others are church people. Please go. Spend Christmas and New Year with your families.
“When you now come back, me too I will go for a few days. And he laughed. Bigot? They never want to hear of Christmas. Since 2015, he would give all Christians working with him time off every Easter and Christmas. I like that kind of bigotry.
“When the Foursquare Gospel Church turned 60 years in Nigeria. I told the President, and he gladly agreed to meet with the leadership. He did. Bigot? Please tell me another story.
