BREAKING NEWS!!! Buhari Prevented From
Meeting Pope Francis After Late
Arrival
The Nigerian mission inexplicably messed up the
itinerary of President Muhammadu Buhari at the
United Nations General Assembly meeting in New
York on Friday, TheCable can report .
The president missed a very important event on
Boko Haram and internally displaced persons
(IDPs) and was also prevented from meeting with
Pope Francis because he was not properly briefed
by the Nigerian UN mission staff.
The pope delivered a speech at the general
assembly on Friday at 10am.
Not only was Buhari made to come in late to the
meeting because of untidy arrangements, he also
took a wrong gate rather than the one reserved
for presidents and heads of state.
He was subsequently prevented from seeing the
pope by security operatives because of his late
arrival.
Buhari came in while other presidents and heads
of government had already lined up to shake
hands with the pope, and he was prevented by
security operatives from joining in.
Presidency had sought to explain away the
missed meeting as not being part of the official
events lined up for the president.
“The meeting at which Nigeria was reportedly
absent was not one of the official events of the
United Nations for which President Muhammadu
Buhari and his modest delegation are in New
York,” Garba Shehu, a presidential spokesman,
had said.
