President Muhammadu Buhari
(Bayo Omoboriowo)
Minister of Information, Lai Mohammed has explained why President Muhammadu Buhari attends foreign events by himself instead of sending a representative.
According to Mohammed, Buhari’s persona inspires confidence in world leaders, something a representative might not be able to achieve.
The minister made the disclosure on May 9, 2016, during a live radio and television programme hosted in Kaduna by Liberty Radio and Television, Daily Trust reports.
“Many world leaders are saying now that Nigeria has a leader with integrity, they have the confidence to discuss with us even on the issue of the looted funds, so sending a representative cannot achieve that much,” he said.
Buhari has been criticized for his frequent trips abroad with many urging him to remain in Nigeria and solve the country’s problems.
