A statement signed and sent to DAILY POST by Buhari’s media aide, Femi Adesina quoted the president as saying, ‘‘Thanks for producing a man like Prof. Itse Sagay, who is defending us robustly and stepping on many toes in the process. If he’s not a man of conviction, he couldn’t have done that.

‘‘Prof, I never had the opportunity to thank you personally for all you’re doing. Thank you very much.’’
