Nigerians have attacked President Muhammadu Buhari on social media after it was revealed that he will be traveling to Mali on Thursday.
Recall that the announcement was made by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina who said that Buhari will be going to Bamako, the Malian capital on a peacekeeping mission.
“President Muhammadu Buhari will Thursday depart for Bamako, Republic of Mali on a one-day visit, following the briefing by the ECOWAS Special Envoy to the country, former President Goodluck Jonathan.
“The Nigerian President and some ECOWAS leaders led by the Chairman of the Authority of Heads of State and Government of the sub-regional organisation, President Issoufou Mahamadou of Niger Republic, agreed to meet in Mali to engage in further consultations towards finding a political solution to the crisis in the country,” Adesina wrote.
Following the disclosure, Nigerians have since taken to social media to fault the move while urging the President to stay and end insurgency and banditry in the country, thereby restoring peace before jetting out for the same purpose.
Before now, Buhari had travelled out of the country twice in 2020, first to the United Kingdom on January 17 and to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia on February 7.
