Why Nigerians need to ‘buga’ for President Buhari – Femi Adesina
Femi Adesina, a spokesperson of President Muhammadu Buhari, has said that the Nigerian people need to ‘buga’ for his principal for good representation of the country in Spain.
Recall that Buga was the title of a hit song by the Nigerian music star, Kizz Daniel, which means to brag about one’s attainment or to flaunt one’s achievement.
Adesina, via a statement entitled “VISIT TO SPAIN: LET’S BUGA FOR MR PRESIDENT”, revealed his encounters while he was in Spain with the president, and how the president met with some Nigerian footballers in Madrid city.
Adesina said, one of their hosts has described Buhari as a man of integrity, probity and accountability.
The host said that “they respect Buhari very much in their country, and generally in the West.”
Adesina said, “Come and see the meeting with Nigerians in Diaspora on Thursday afternoon. The President was in his elements. When Chairman of Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM), Abike Dabiri-Erewa, introduced Kenneth Omeruo, a Nigerian footballer playing professional soccer in Spain, the President said: “I know him. I always see him on TV, with his peculiar hairstyle.” Looool.
“Omeruo thanked the President for his many supports to the Super Eagles, and presented him with an autographed football, jersey of his team, Leganes FC of Madrid, and a jersey of the Super Eagles.
“An appreciative President told the footballer that as a student, he didn’t play much of football because of his lean stature, “but I felt safer with hockey, since I had a stick I could use to defend myself.”
“The expedition to Spain by President Buhari was very successful on all fronts. Our President did the country proud, represented well, and brought us glory. Why shouldn’t we then flaunt him? We must ‘buga,’ and showcase our leader, no matter what those who cavil say”.
