Gen. M. Buhari (President, Fed. Rep. of Nigeria)
The burial of the late Chief of Army Staff, General Ibrahim Attahiru and other Military officers who lost their lives in air disaster has no doubt, drawn sympathizers from across the the world.
The Chief of Army Staff and others were reportedly heading to Kaduna for an official duty when the Military Beach-craft 350 Aircraft they were traveling in, crashed at the Kaduna Airport. Today, some of the late officers were buried at the Military Cemetery in Abuja according to Islamic rites. The burial ceremony which attracted the presence of dignitaries across the country has drawn the attention of Remo Omokri. According to the former Aide to Nigerian’s former president, President Goodluck Jonathan, President Mohammadu Buhari and some northern governors were absent at the burial ceremony of his Chief of Army Staff, General Ibrahim Attahiru. With this, Reno Omokri posted on his official Twitter page concerning the President’s absence from the burial ceremony. It should be recalled that the President had described the late Chief of Army Staff as a hero who paid the ultimate price for the peace of the country. However, his absence from the burial ceremony has got people talking as Reno Omokri shared the post on his twitter page. According to the post obtained from Reno Omokri’s official Twitter page, “Sad that General @MBuhari did not attend the burial of the late Chief of Army Staff, General Attahiru. He was represented by his Defence Minister. Attahiru died serving Nigeria. Buhari, who went to Paris for 4 days, could not go to Attahiru’s funeral for 30 minutes”. He also accused the northern governors of preferring to party in Kano while the entire Nation mourns the departed heros.
Attached below are some of the reactions from people concerning Reno’s post on the President’s absence.
