Presidential aide Onochie fires back at those calling for Buhari’s inauguration to be stopped

Lauretta Onochie, the Personal Assistant on Social Media matters to President Muhammadu Buhari has reacted cynically to calls to stop the inauguration of her boss on May 29.

She wrote on Wednesday morning: “Tribunal Asked To Stop @MBuhari’s Inauguration– @channelstv.

“Me: So they finally head for the court after obtaining a post dated injunction to stop the people’s will on May 29th without a case in court; Laughable.

“Yes we know How? #HandOfEsau but the #VoiceOfJacob, JOKERS!”

Her comments comes after the Hope Democratic Party (HDP) appealed to the Presidential Election Tribunal to restrain President Buhari from his inauguration on May 29.

The HDP made the appeal in a motion filed before the tribunal which is also seeking an order restraining the Chief Justice of Nigeria from swearing in, administering the oath of office and oath of allegiance to the president on May 29th, 2019.
