Garba Shehu, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, has explained why his principal, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) didn’t attend the burial of his late Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Ibrahim Attahiru, in Abuja on Saturday.
According to Shehu, the President stayed away from the burial because he didn’t want to inconvenience road users.
The Presidential aide spoke on Tuesday while featuring on an Arise TV programme monitored by
The PUNCH.
The PUNCH had earlier reported that the President was under fire last weekend when he was conspicuously absent from the burial at Attahiru.
