Also ignore the fact that he has also not done any official state visit
Or that his "speeches" during the presidential campaigns are not more than one hour.
But he must address a session of the UN General Assembly this week. Nobody is forcing him though.
The presidency is very adept at hiding.Very good at wishing that reality was wrong. So they won't miss this chance.That Nigeria's contribution will not matter a wee bit does not really matter. Nigerians would be occupied.
Already, the president is heck penned by his party, APC, over his decision to
"use only Northern governors" for the trip.
In all intents and purposes, the meeting has been concluded even before others even begin to arrive. Pope Francis and The president of China have been in America doing the real Business.The others,when they come,should have their say.Those that'd have their way already know.
In 2003, former the US President ,George Bush Jr called the UN General Assembly,"an ineffectual debating society" when it refused to endorse a motion to hammer Iraq like his father did in 1991.That America had it's way is not news.
Mavericks like the late Muammar Gaddafi and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad can hold the floor simply by insulting the West.
At the same forum in 2012, then President Goodluck Jonathan held them spellbound. It was his opinion that the World powers should stop selling assault weapons and small arms to Africa.That we somehow know how to settle our disputes.That for example, a man,can only go so far with a machete.That assault weapons take our lives and our money.
4 years later,as Buhari prepares to take the same floor, Africa is broke, conflict ridden, millions killed by weapons and small arms sold to it.
As he goes to America, his country is on an economic dialysis, cattle rustlers are wiping out villages and kings in Niger state.
The meeting is notorious for famous walk outs. Buhari can heal that by putting everybody to sleep by his ability to be inaudible.
