Buhari In Trouble For Not Attending Burial Of Chief Of Army Staff, Six Other Generals

TRIXX NG reports that President Muhammadu Buhari has been dragged by Nigerians on the internet for not attending the burial ceremony of Late General Ibrahim Attahiru and six other army generals that died two days ago in a plane crash.

His absence at the burial was described as pure negligence which should not have happened as those that died are very important to the country, and the best that can be done to honour them is to respect them with his presence at their burial.

Some also lashed him by saying he was able to go to paris which is of course very far compared to the burial venue which is just few miles from the presidential villa.

Here’s Putin attending a military funeral, drenched. But Buhari couldn’t attend COAS, Gen. Ibrahim Attahiru’s burial. At least to boost the morale of the army. Bayo must have felt really sad, he missed an opportunity to give Bubu one of those crisp clear photos. What a loss. pic.twitter.com/QBDjsTns6w

When we called out the irresponsibility in 2016 many attacked us. Buhari is enabled by many here to keep behaving badly. https://t.co/OEqABvNqVD

On the 7th of November 2016, the bodies of soldiers were brought in from Borno to be buried in Abuja. The whole nation was grieving these heroes killed alongside their leader Lt Col Abu Ali, Muhammadu Buhari on that day callously chose to go to Edo State and campaign for votes! https://t.co/EbSxGM6X5w

In January 2016, Buhari attended the memorial service of 100 Kenyan soldiers killed by Alshabab, but didn’t attend the funeral/memorial service for hundreds of Nigerian soldiers killed by Boko Haram in Gudunbali in November 2015. #BuhariLacksEmpathy for Nigerians!

Your COAS died in the line of duty but you couldn’t attend his burial. It’s not like the man went on a voyage or frolic of his own. These Generals & officers died serving the country. Na wa ooo. I’m just speechless for Buhari & his people.
