“Anything to be in a plane, Buhari would do it. As long as it involves travelling, he would jump on it. He’s there to talk about the political unrest in the Francophone country, meanwhile his country is boiling, his country is practically falling, but yet, that doesn’t concern President Muhammadu Buhari,”
She further stated that the country did not have a president but a travel vlogger and blogger who was only concerned about the benefits that came with the office and was unbothered about the country’s current security challenges.
