Aisha Yesufu, a member of
the #BringBackOurGirls (BBOG) campaign group, says President Muhammadu Buhari
has chosen to dine with the influential members of the society, neglecting the
poor who welcomed him to campaign rallies.
Commenting on the decision
of the president to break his fast with only privilege members of the society,
Yesufu wondered why some internally displaced persons (IDPs) in the north-east
have not been invited.
She said Buhari would have
been breaking his fast in IDP camps if the election had been scheduled after
the Ramadan season.
She also criticised the
president for attending a conference on Syrian IDPs but refusing to visit Bama
in Borno state, which has a high population of those displaced by insurgency.
“If this was election
period President Buhari would have been going from one IDP camp to another to
break fast as it is not he meets his kind ,” she wrote on Twitter.
“With the pictures from IDP
Camps and the hunger and death reported, President Buhari is still showing us
pictures of feasting as he breaks fast?
“Do you know how many IDP
mouths would be fed by the iftar ceremony taking place at Aso villa?
“Where are those masses
that used to welcome PMB to rallies? Are they not good for the iftar ceremonies
in Aso villa? Ha! Politicians!!
“President Buhari is yet to
visit Bama with all the report coming out and you say he is for the people? No
way! He is cold and indifferent.
“Pictures that came out of
Syria which prompted World leaders to meet in London including PMB were not as
bad as those that came out of Bama
“It’s either the
president’s advisers/handlers are incompetent or he refuses advice. How can he
not visit Bama and Co to assess IDP situation?”
Since he returned to the
country from the United Kingdom he went on vacation, Buhari has been hosting
different groups to dinner at Aso Rock.
On Monday, he welcomed
captains of industries, led by Aliko Dangote, Africa’s richest man.
