| President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari |
The president-elect, General Mohammadu Buhari took many by
surprise on Friday as he was disappointedly absent at the special Friday
service to mark the beginning of a weeklong activities of his inauguration next
week.
Journalists who were invited to cover the ceremony had
gathered but to the chagrin of everyone, Buhari was not sighted anywhere around
the crowded mosque.
No official reason was given for his absence at the mosque.
However, it began to dawn on many that the news report
earlier by an online news medium, Shaharareporters that Buhari had jetted out
of the country to the United Kingdom, UK, in early hours of Friday morning was
actually true, when former Vice President and chieftain of All Progressives
Congress, APC, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar stepped out of the mosque and announced
that he was Buhari’s representative at the special service.
