The presidency has reacted to reports President Buhari walked out
during meeting with Chibok parents yesterday.They also explained why
cameras and journalists were banned from covering the meeting..According
to SSA media to the president ,Garba Shehu
We thank the BBOG_Nigeria for a good event. But that is not to say that
all of the accounts of the meeting on Twitter are accurate.President
Buhari could not have stormed out of his meeting with the #Chibok
parents, stakeholders and the BBOG_Nigeria.He (President Buhari) was
called to speak at a meeting he did not start.
He did his part and left so that the meeting would continue It is a
simple meeting procedure. He had to leave without being disruptive That
is what happened.
The ministers did not even escort him. They stayed back to conclude the
meeting .I thought that the President should be praised for ending his
meeting with a foreign leader to come and for the courtesy &
respect he showed to the parents & the
BBOG, which is undoubtedly Africa's best known social action movement.
We asked cameras out for two reasons. Sensitive security information may
be disclosed.Two, privacy is not unusual with leaders around the world
when they meet families in grief.We didn't want anyone to get the sense
that the President was exploiting their images in a photo op.
Regards!
