Femi Fani-Kayode, former Aviation Minister has accused President
Muhammadu Buhari and his Vice, Yemi Osinbajo of being insensitive.
Fani-Kayode made the remark while reacting to Buhari and
Osinbajo’s failure to attend the burial of the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen.
Ibrahim Attahiru and ten other officers in Abuja.
The former minister insisted that there was no justification
for Buhari and Osinabjo’s refusal to attend the burial.
In a tweet, he wrote: “There can be no justification for the
President and Vice President’s refusal to attend the funeral of the late COAS.
“He was buried in Abuja just 10 minutes away from the Villa
and yet the C in C or his deputy could not attend? This is insensitive and
unacceptable. He was your COAS!”
Attahiru and 10 military officers died while in active
service on Friday.
The Army Chief and the deceased officers were on an official
trip to Kaduna when their aircraft crashed.
The crash happened at the Kaduna International Airport at
about 6 pm on Friday.
Attahiru and the other officers were flown back to Abuja for
burial at the military cemetery.
However, Buhari, Osinabajo and their wives were noticeably
absent during the internment of the deceased officers.
