The presidential spokesman disclosed this while affirming that Buhari has done his best for Nigeria.
Featuring on Channels Television on Friday, Shehu said Nigerians urged Buhari to run for president because he was the right person at the time.
According to Shehu: “The president can be very casual sometimes in speaking and jovial and jocularly.
“I think this is what people fail to understand of him. They need to understand how he was persuaded and pressured to run in the first instance.
“He had served as governor, minister and military head of state and that’s the highest it could get.
“He had retired home and Nigerians came and said ‘you are the right person for this moment, we need you.’ It took some persuasion.”
