Erstwhile special adviser to
ex-president Goodluck Jonathan on media and publicity, Reuben Abati has
criticised the statement credited to President Muhammadu Buhari on herdsmen
killing in the country during his meeting with Donald Trump.
Buhari had mentioned that
herdsmen do not carry guns but only wielded sticks and occasionally, machetes.
He reiterated that death of
Gaddafi aggravated herdsmen crisis in Nigeria.
Abati speaking on Channels Tv
called on Buhari to stop blaming outsiders for the killings and act as the
president.
“I saw the footage where Buhari
was discusing herdsmen killings with President Trump.
“He again made the mistake of
back to Libya.I think someone should tell Buhari to stop blaming outsiders.He
has been elected president to deal with issues and he should deal wit it.
“Gaddafi died over six years ago
so blaming him is a problem,” he said.
Abati, however, commended the
president over his response in regards to Trump’s shithole remarks.
“He did well in responding to
President’s shithole comment and so far his visit had not so many gaps contrary
to expectations of Nigerians.
“This shows perhaps he’s been
sensitive to the kind of comments made by Nigerians,” he added.
Buhari had stated that he did not
bring up President Donald Trump’s alleged shithole remark about African
countries when they met because he was not sure he actually made the comment.
