Friday Olokor, Leke Baiyewu, Olaleye Aluko, Tobi Aworinde and Kayode Idowu A large crowd of Borno residents, on Wednesday, booed the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari , as his convoy drove fr

om the Maiduguri International Airport to the centre of the city.

During previous visits to Borno State, Buhari received a warm reception from residents of the state, which is regarded as one of his strongholds. On January 6, the insurgents attacked Gamboru in the state, with no fewer than 30 persons killed after an improvised explosive device exploded on a bridge. The insurgents had disguised and moved in a police vehicle towards a military base, before opening fire on unsuspecting soldiers near their trench.

“We asked for the change of the service chiefs, the President did not accede and we are locked inside Maiduguri as if we are prisoners. With the brief advice to Borno monarchs, Buhari proceeded to the Government House, from where he went to the airport to take his flight to Abuja at 3:30pm.Before the President spoke, the state Governor, Babagana Zulum, had urged him to deploy troops in Boko Haram hideouts in Sambisa Forest and Lake Chad region.

But in an interview with journalists in Maiduguri, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, said, “There is no need to go to Auno, as the President’s visit to Borno, was to condole with victims and people of the state.” “I want to call on the leadership at various levels to cooperate with law enforcement agencies and let us deny Boko Haram access to our loyal citizens.”There were diverse reactions to the cold reception the President received in Maiduguri. An elder statesman, Dr Junaid Mohammed, in an interview with The PUNCH, said the booing of the President by residents of Maiduguri was a sign that the people were getting tired of excuses.

Adamu Sadiq noted, “Our eyes are open. Now, this is a clear warning to the leaders they should better take note.”On its part, CAN called for an investigation into the military closure of the road where 30 people were killed on Sunday. Adopting the motion, the House directed the military authorities to “henceforth stop the keeping of commuters overnight at a particular period on the Damaturu-Maiduguri road,” asking them to allow commuters proceed on their journeys even after 6pm.

We got what we asked for...

Buhari's next speech in reaction to this would be like 'The people of Borno were so happy to see me. So many of them gathered and cheered me goodbye, wishing I didn't have to go'😅

Booda femi, booda lai, booda garuba, over to you!! Hint: An arrangement by the Opposition

In Nigeria the president can kill anybody he like but in American if a president kill a dog he will be sued and impeached because of a dog Nigerian leaders dont value human life and so the same with the supreme cout and other law makers

They booed themselves for their 95% votes.

The 🐓 has finally come home to roost 🤣. Them go get sense by force. SAI MAMA till 2077

TopeEdward Discas2001 splashfm1055 RonkeGiwa1 ..I hope Buhari himself should see clearly now that he's failed and should necessarily had to sack those sycophants FemAdesina, GarShehu speaking nonsense to making fake image of him to cajole Nigeria!

You shew what you produce, o don't even trust them even of they stone their beloved Fulani man, they will still vote him third time if necessary.

They are tools for boko haram. Check their appointees in this present administration, therefore, boko haram lives with them.

Let's see how FemAdesina will spin this one. We must encourage MBuhari to always visit any state that feels a direct impact of his erectile disfunctionist government in real-time instead of hiding in the other room with Aisha.

They should have stoned the clueless man

Bla bla bla Next story Plse. Put election now now in that location and Buhari would win hands down.

Same monkeys and baboons that produced million votes for same Buhari ? They can boo from now till next year what's my own useless cows

They should stone him with shit... Worlds Most clueless...
