Senator Dino Melaye on Tuesday made a mockery of President Muhammadu Buhari following reports that he was sending an envoy to look into the Xenophobic attacks on Nigerians in South Africa.
His reaction was contained in a tweet at his personal handle.
A statement by the President’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, had read, “President Buhari has also despatched a Special Envoy to convey to President Cyril Ramaphosa his concerns and also interact with his South African counterpart on the situation.
“The Special Envoy is expected to arrive in Pretoria latest Thursday, September 5, 2019.”
The Senator, however, saw the President’s response as an act of cowardice, insisting that Buhari should have made the trip himself.
Mr. Melaye’s tweet read: “If it’s to travel out to chill in the name of medical check up, you will be number one. Time to grow balls and head out to address important matters affecting your people, you want to send envoy. Were you not once a General ???
Take the lead for once!!!”
