Nigerians have taken to Twitter, the micro-blogging
platform, to criticise President Bola Tinubu and some chieftains of the All
Progressives Congress (APC), for the endless red carpet receptions at airports.
On July 7, Tinubu departed Nigeria for the 63rd ordinary
session of the authority of heads of state and government of the Economic
Community of West African States (ECOWAS), in Guinea-Bissau.
At the airport were top government officials and
ex-governors, including Femi Gbajabiamila, the president’s chief of staff;
Abdullahi Ganduje, former governor of Kano; Mohammed Badaru, former governor of
Jigawa; and Abubakar Bagudu, former governor of Kebbi.
On his arrival at Aeroporto international airport in Guinea-Bissau on Saturday, Ganduje, Badaru and Bagudu, including Nuhu Ribadu, the national security adviser, were again part of the welcome party on the tarmac.
Back in Nigeria on Monday, the president was once again
received by an all-smiling cast of former governors, who had been present
during his departure to Bissau.
The never-ending rollout of the red carpet, and the beeline
of politicians at the airport as the president departs or returns, has got some
Nigerians on social media talking.
“What is with the welcome party and line up for handshake
every time the president travels and comes back? These people don’t have work
to do?,” one Twitter user wrote as the president returned from Bissau.
Below are more reactions.
This Ganduje man won’t rest, always in Aso rock and receiving the president. @officialABAT please ask Ganduje to go and rest in Kano!! 😂😂

One hopes that these former governors are not going to find their ways into the president's eagerly awaited Cabinet nominees!?

They don't any other work apart from politics
Appointment hunger and they have nothing to offer us
They have been in government for many years go their state and judge them with their performance
You travelled together on the same plane, you'll come down from the plane first then you line up to shake hands with the same person you took the flight together
