Ekiti State Governor,
Ayodele Fayose, has described the non-extension of invitation to President
Muhammadu Buhari to attend the Donald Trump’s inauguration as a clear signal
that the president does not enjoy international relevance any more.
But
the Presidency has insisted
that President Muhammadu Buhari, was not
snubbed for the inauguration ceremony of US president-elect, Donald Trump.
Trump will be installed as the 45th American president
today, Friday, January 20, 2017.
Buhari was among the first world leaders to congratulate
him, after he floored Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton in the elections
last November.
In a statement released on Thursday by Buhari’s media aide,
Malam Garba, the presidency said: “Gentlemen, I think we should respond to
refute this falsehood. The US does not invite Heads of State or President to
the inauguration of their Presidents. Our President could therefore, not have
been snubbed.”
This comes as rumours have been circulating on social media
that Trump chose Buhari’s predecessor, Goodluck Jonathan, as Nigeria’s
representative at the ceremony.
Buhari has since flown out of the country to the United
Kingdom, on a 10-day annual leave.
