Attahiru: Omokri faults Tinubu, Akande for visiting Buhari over officers’ death

Reno Omokri, a former presidential aide, has faulted former Lagos and Osun Governors, Bola Tinubu and Bisi Akande, for visiting President Muhammadu Buhari at the State House, Abuja on Tuesday.

NigerianEye had earlier reported that Tinubu, Akande, and others paid Buhari a condolence visit over the recent Kaduna air crash.

The mishap claimed the lives of Army Chief, Lt. Gen. Ibrahim Attahiru and other military officers.

Reacting, Omokri wondered why the APC chieftains should visit Buhari, who didn’t attend the burial of the late COAS and other officers, adding that it makes no sense.

Omokri wrote on Twitter, “Why are Governors, Tinubu, Ministers and other VIPs going on condolence visits to General @MBuhari over the death of General Attahiru? It makes no sense.

“Someone, that was not even bothered enough to attend the funeral? If you just condole, then condole his family. ”

Recall that Buhari and his vice Yemi Osinbajo were conspicuously absent at the burial of the late COAS and other military officers on Saturday.

Attahiru died in a plane crash close to the Kaduna Airport last Friday.

Ten other officers were also killed when the Beachcraft 350 aircraft came down due to bad weather.

Buhari’s Special Assistant on Social Media, Lauretta Onochie, had since explained the President’s absence at Saturday’s burial of the late Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Ibrahim Attahiru and other military officers.

Onochie said that Buhari must be given a 48-hour notice before any funeral outside the Presidential Villa.
