It is unfair to say Buhari ignores victims of att@cks in Nigeria – Presidency

The presidency has said that it is unfair to say President Muhammadu Buhari is not responsive to victims of vi#lent att#cks in the country.
.

Garba Shehu, presidential spokesperson, said this on Friday, May 20, while reacting to the controversy generated by the president’s condolence visit to the United Arab Emirates over the de@th of the country’s President Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan.

Speaking with Channel Television, he said, “Those Nigerians should be told that they should look at all of the facts. I have accompanied the president to Sokoto on a condolence visit after a major incident.
.
.
However, it is unfair also to make the conclusion wrongly that he had not paid attention or had not visited. He had been to Maiduguri quite a number of times.
.
.
I accompanied him to Zamfara. He spoke to the governor, parliamentarians, religious and traditional leaders. I accompanied the President to Benue State. He addressed the governor in the Government House, Makurdi, after a major incident. I accompanied him to Jos after a cr#sis.
.
.
So, did the President go to all the places where there have been incidents of vi#lence or k#llings? No, he did not go. The president has been responsive and he has been discharging the obligations that rest upon him as the president and commander-in-chief, in dealing with all of these matters. He has not cut short in any way.
.
.
The point I want to make is that the administration has been very responsive. You just mentioned the railway incident in Kaduna, and this last week, the incident in Kano of an expl#sion.
.
.
The vice-president of Nigeria was in both places. This country has one presidency. If the president is not there on account of engagements and the vice-president is there, let us take it that the presidency of Nigeria has attended to those matters.”
