Don’t forget the President said Nigeria is broke.
Sour grapes. So when the head of governments of the commonwealth meets. We should send Ajulor instead of the sitting President?
These people trivializes important work. Many people like to say Nigeria is the giant of Africa and yet want Nigerian President to behave as it is the ant of Africa. That said, the best brand Nigeria has going for it right now is anchored on the personal integrity of President Buhari – this is being leveraged to rebuild alliances that have been left to decay due to rudderless drifting under Jonathan, so these trips are necessary and to the extent that the President is able to carry them out – the Nigerian people are grateful. The trips becomes almost mandatory due to the fact that stolen commonwealth a stashed away outside the shores of Nigeria and their recovery can only be done through strengthening alliances. Another reason is economic, the world is a global village and Nigeria should play in the world marketplace – who better to lead that than the President himself. Nigeria has something to offer the world in these troubling times – wisdom and experience in combating the menace of our time – terrorism and injustice. There are more reasons that space would not permit to elucidate on. I pray God keep President Buhari healthy, preserve his life and chance Nigeria, Africa andthe world to benefit from the service of this living legend of our time
He is seeking relevance and perhaps trying to outsmart Methuselah of the PDP to lay claim as the mouthpiece of the opposition.
We will review and take appropriate action.
