A former presidential candidate in the 2019 elections and arch supporter of the views of the current presidency, Adamu Garba, has differed on the general attitude of government to the death of the Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lt General Ibrahim Attahiru.
He regrets that none of the people that should have been at the funeral of four of Nigeria’s Generals and other gallant officers was sighted at the event.
He also complained that that neither the first nor the second lady was at the final farewell of soldiers who died serving the country.
According to him, the governors were either at a wedding or the PDP political rally.
“In a war situation, we lost four generals , majors and lieutenants, yet neither the President nor his vice, senate President nor his deputy, speaker nor his deputy deem it fit to grace the burial. Even the wife of the COAS was neither accompanied by First Lady or second lady.
“Only two Govs, Zulum & Buni with few ministers might have attended. While Gov. Wike is having Political Rally, other govs are attending a wedding in Kano. I saw the video of the wife of late COAS walking to pay her last respect to her husband with few friends. I was heartbroken.
“Yet most of these leaders may say they have a very important reason why they didn’t attend. Coincidentally, all of them. None of them would sacrifice 30 minutes for the life of soldiers who died trying to protect us. The highest level officers of our land. How can that be?
“For them, Twitter is enough for condolences, but they can go campaigning all over the country, during elections. Apparently, the only thing that matters to our leaders is not us, or even the most senior members of their appointees, but political power.
