He had been expected to reel off his objectives for the next four years. Many guests at the Eagle Square venue in Abuja were apparently not impressed upon realising they would not be hearing from the leader.
But the president’s action has been eliciting reactions with the opposition Peoples Democratic Party saying it was a tacit admission of guilt that the election was rigged. Chief Goddy Uwazuruike, President Emeritus of Igbo think tank Aka Ikenga, described the development as “strange” and “shocking”. According to him, “governors read their speeches and asked the people to look forward to something that gave people hope and food for thought. The only person who didn’t give us food for thought was the president. I think something is wrong; he is the most important person here.
During a live television programme, Akin Oyebode, Professor of International Law and Jurisprudence at the University of Lagos , said the president missed an opportunity to administer a soothing balm on the citizenry by giving them “some impression of hope.” But NADECO’s general Secretary, Ayo Opadokun, felt there was little to worry about. Buhari didn’t want to glamourise May 29 any longer, he explained. According to him, “The president and his handlers deliberately saved the speech for June 12, when the country will actually celebrate Democracy Day.
Security at the venue and around the Federal Capital City was beefed up. Men of the strike force unit of Nigerian Army in balaclavas took positions atop major high-rise buildings around the venue. Police dogs and anti-bomb trucks manned strategic locations to ensure there was no breach.
