N700m Budget: Only 83 People Welcomed Buhari To Commission Gutter In Imo – Deji Adeyanju

THE Abuja based Human rights activist and the convener of an advocacy group, Concerned Nigerians, Deji Adeyanju, has revealed that only 83 people welcomed President Muhammadu Buhari to commission gutter in Imo State after budgeted N700m for the event.

The activist said the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) communicated the language that President Buhari understands during a day visit to Imo State.

Newsflash Nigeria had reported President Buhari arrived at the Sam Mbakwe International Cargo Airport in Owerri, Imo State on Thursday morning around 9:00 am.

The President who was clothed in the Isi Agu Igbo native attire was welcomed by some of the elders in the state but the streets deserted.

Recall that the leader of IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu had directed the people of the state from the detention to stay indoors to prevent them from welcoming the president to the state.

Newsflash Nigeria gathered that residents of Owerri, the state capital complied fully with the directive initially given by the IPOB leader.

Reacting, Deji Adeyanju commended the residents of the state for complying with the sit-at-home directive of the IPOB, in protest against the visit of President Buhari to the state.

Adeyanju on his Facebook page stated that it was obvious that IPOB and the citizens of Imo state who complied with the Sit-at-home order, spoke to President Muhammadu Buhari in the “language he understands”.

He added that despite the heavy security agents deployed to the state, Buhari hurriedly inaugurated a road project and left the street because of fear of the unknown.

He said IPOB only asked for a sit-at-home but was given a lockdown instead.

Adeyanju said he counted himself that only 83 people welcomed Buhari for commissioning gutter in Imo State after budgeted N700m for the event.

He said all the videos and pictures posted on Social media by Presidential aides, only 83 people welcomed Buhari aside from the military and security agents when he counted.
