EXPLOSION: Fani-Kayode attacks Buhari for not visiting Lagos

A former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode has attacked President Muhammadu Buhari for not visiting Lagos State in the aftermath of the Abule-Ado explosion.

He frowned that Buhari only stayed in Abuja and had pictures of the incident brought to him.

The former minister described Buhari as being “callous, heartless and insensitive” on how he treated the matter.

He wrote on his Twitter handle-@realFFK:

“You claim to be President of all yet this happens in your nation’s commercial capital and you do not see fit to go there to see for yourself and stand with your people?

“The best you can do is gawk at the pictures that were brought to you?

“You are callous, heartless & insensitive!”
