It would appear Nigeria’s president has reverted to type following his return to the country: Cancelling Federal Executive Council meetings, declining to visit areas of disaster/humanitarian crisis, working from home etc.
Like Trump’s penchant for disappointing the American people with every new law and each new tweet, President Buhari walks in his shoes on a different continent.
The latest disappointment Nigerians are grappling with is President Buhari choosing Sallah over Benue flood victims and after Sallah, sending his Vice in his stead.
See below:
VP @ProfOsinbajo is in Benue State, on behalf of Pres @MBuhari. He will be visiting victims of the flood disaster & assessing the situation.

Reactions:
There was an explosion in Ikeja & OBJ visited but was outside. The crowd angrily told him to go inside & look. Today, Buhari sent a rep….. https://t.co/XggJxEJMYh

After heavy criticism he decided to send his VP. It's fundamentally wrong not to prioritize the welfare of the people

About time too, but let him not go there with ten packets of indomie as he did the last time he visited after the herdsmen's mayhem

You are lawless. There is separation of powers. Why would the President Of The North come south?
— orwelliANDYstopia (@andyRoidO) September 6, 2017
As if he believes Benue people are "real northerners".

Benue is in the middle belt
Neither North nor South ??

Why can't you personally visit the victims, Mr. President? https://t.co/NgeUkhES8x
