Why I Shunned Enugu Summit – Buhari

Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday said there was no truth in media reports alleging that he intentionally snubbed the recent South-East Economic and Security Summit in Enugu.

Rather, he said he was advised by some stakeholders from the region not to attend on Thursday as scheduled in view of the closeness of the date to Christmas Day.

Buhari made the clarification in a statement made available to journalists by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu.

Shehu said Buhari was told that a presidential visit at this time of the year might be disruptive to Christmas.
