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
