Former Vice President and the Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Atiku Abubakar has berated the absence of President Muhammadu Buhari at the funeral of the officers and men of the Nigerian Army killed by Boko Haram in Metele, Borno State.
“This is sad and totally unacceptable. This is beyond politics. This touches our shared humanity. What would it cost for the President to take a day and fulfil his role as head of state by attending the funeral of such men of honour and valour? He asked.
Atiku also noted that while he appreciated the Nollywood industry, it does not send a right signal that the President could host Nollywood stars a day earlier and shunned the funeral of soldiers who died defending the country.
