Terrorists attacks cant stop President Buhari from traveling — Presidency

The Presidency has said that the incessant attacks by terrorists across Nigeria will not stop President Muhammadu Buhari from traveling abroad.

This was stated by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, on Wednesday while responding to questions about why Buhari did not cancel his latest trip to Dakar, Senegal.

The presidential spokesman insisted that his principal would join other Heads of State and Presidents for the global conference which is an international obligation before proceeding to his hometown in Daura.

Responding to a question related to why the President was traveling overseas amid the worsening state of insecurity in the country, Adesina, who was at the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting, said: “The President should go (to Senegal) because there’s an international conference meant for heads of states and presidents; he should attend.

You should never give in to terrorists. The moment terrorists begin to stop you from doing things, then we might as well throw up our hands in surrender. The President should go ahead. Yes, it’s an international obligation.”

Buhari’s latest trip comes less than 24 hours after terrorists attacked his convoy in Katsina State and the Kuje prison facility in Abuja, the nation’s capital.
