Julian Okon stated that, ” though the presidency is yet to issue an official statement, we already know that President Muhammadu Buhari will not be attending the flag off ceremony for the cleaning of Ogoni land in Rivers state.”
Julian listed 3 likely reasons why the president was not in Ogoni land:
1. He’s afraid of the Niger Delta Avangers The Niger Delta Avangers reportedly threatened to kill the president if he dares step foot in Ogoni land. Is the Commander in Chief of Nigeria’s Armed Forces scared of a raggedy militant group?
2. The trip was never in his itinerary We all know that President Buhari hates local trips. In over one year in office, the president has only visited 4 Nigerian states.
3. President Buhari has another ear infection The last time President Buhari cancelled a trip, a raging ear infection was blamed. The Democracy day broadcast showed a President who was struggling, maybe he has another ear infection?
