Garba Shehu explains why President Buhari was absent at Gen Attahiru's funeral. Hear what his spokesperson said.

The president's spokesperson says it was all due to protocol and logistic concerns.


President Muhammadu Buhari was nowhere near the National Cemetery in Abuja, on Saturday, May 22, 2021, as the remains of Chief of Army Staff Ibrahim Attahiru and 10 others, were laid to rest following a plane crash.

And Garba Shehu, who speaks for the nation's Commander-in-Chief, says there is an explanation for the no-show that was condemned in the strongest terms possible across all social media platforms.

“I was in Europe myself on assignment and I have not spoken to the president on this but let me give you just one example:

"The president is somebody who is so concerned about the safety and wellbeing of ordinary Nigerians on the streets," Shehu said on Arise TV, Tuesday.

Shehu said the president's appearance at the funeral would have obstructed free flow of traffic and disrupted business activities in the nation's capital city.
