Former Minister of Information, Lai Mohammed, has disclosed how the late ex-President Muhammadu Buhari asked him about how many people he has killed through fasting.
The former minister spoke at an event in Abuja to mark Buhari’s one year anniversary of his death.
“And every time I was invited to come to the table, I would excuse myself, until one day, the president asked Asiwaju, doesn’t Lai trust me enough to eat in my house? And Asiwaju no Lai fasts on Mondays and Thursdays.
Retorting, he said: “Why are you fasting everyday? The conclusion, a unique and special relationship I enjoyed with Buhari transcended our years in office, I made a conscious effect to maintain regular contact with him after he retired from public office, visiting him both in Daura and Kaduna to spend quiet time with him.
“It was an extraordinary privilege to have known, served, and worked alongside Buhari.”
