Five Days After, President Buhari Fails To Visit Zabarmari, Address Nation

[THREAD]

Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari has failed to visit Zabarmari, the community in Jere Local Government Area five days after the gruesome massacre of farmers and discovery of 78 bodies following an attack by Boko Haram insurgents.

On Sunday, the State Governor, Prof. Babagana

Zulum, attended the burial of the first set of bodies recovered after the Saturday attack.

The governor offered his condolences and provided financial assistance to families of the victims.

On Monday, Borno State Deputy Governor Umar Usman Kadafur and the former governor of the state Kashim Shettima led some National Assembly members and party leaders to Zabarmari.

On the same day, a Federal Government delegation led by the President of the Senate, Dr Ahmad Lawan, arrived in Maiduguri, the Borno State capital, to commiserate with the people.

On Tuesday, Edward Kallon, the United Nations Resident Coordinator and Humanitarian Coordinator in Nigeria, visited the burial ground of some of the victims and met community members.

“There is no word to describe how I feel after my visit to Zabarmari communities yesterday. It is with great sadness and indignation that I met the families of the victims of Saturday’s violent attack to extend my most sincere condolences on behalf of the United Nations”

Edward said in a tweet shared on Wednesday.

Many are wondering why the president with a fleet of aircraft at his disposal has not visited Borno to meet families to offer his condolences and reassure them of their safety and justice for the victims.

Neither has the president spared a few minutes to speak on national television or to the media to reassure Nigerians of his commitment to the protection of lives and property.
