The Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Atiku Abubakar, has condemned the absence of President Muhammadu Buhari at the funeral of the five airforce officers who died in a helicopter crash while prosecuting the war on terror.
Atiku said at a time when the morale of the soldiers should be lifted up as they faced the difficult task of defeating the terrorists that, “I find it most regrettable that President Muhammadu Buhari, despite being in Abuja, chose not to attend.”
“Yesterday’s (Tuesday’s) refusal of the president to attend the funerals of these heroes is part of a pattern of unpatriotic behaviour demonstrated by President Buhari.”
