President Muhammadu Buhari has refuted rumours making the rounds that he has so far refused to move into the Presidential Villa because of purported advice from Senegalese spiritualists and marabouts.
His senior special assistant on media and publicity, Gsrba Shehu, in a statement on Tuesday described such reports as baloney, even as he expressed the presidency’s “utter embarrassment at such suggestion”.
He said Buhari, as a practising Muslim believes his fate belongs to God and that no true believer combines faith in God and reliance on the power of ordinary mortals, who can neither protect themselves, nor protect others from the hands of fate.
Shehu stressed that the so-called “spiritual cleansing of the Aso Rock Villa by Senegalese marabouts before President Buhari moves into the Villa” was the figment of the imagination of rumour mongers.
The statement said it was ridiculous to attribute Buhari’s delay in moving into the Villa to any advice from fictitious marabouts.
According to Shehu, renovation works in the Villa were largely responsible for the delay in Buhari’s movement into the Presidential Villa.
