Atiku: It is unacceptable for President Buhari not to attend the funeral of killed soldiers.
The Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar, has described the absence of President Muhammadu Buhari and Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, at the burial of the Soldiers killed in Metele attack, in Maiduguri, as ‘totally unacceptable’. Atiku in a statement he personally signed on Saturday, said it was even more painful when the Federal Government refused to send a delegation to represent it at the funeral. He stated that Buhari should learn from French President, Emmanuel Macron, who on March 28, 2018, took a whole day off to attend the funeral of Lt. Col. Arnaud Beltrame, who was killed by a terrorist, after a March 24, 2018 terror attack on the South of France.
