Just found out he was to see PMB personally before proceeding to Lagos State to round up his 4 day visit. Now in the absence of PMB, the schedule was reversed. he leaves Nigeria this Evening

Ok!

I thought the acting president should have been responsible for receiving such a high profile visiting government official ( President) from another country in the absence of the president Which has always been the diplomatic norm.

Seeing GMB personally is his choice but who receives a visiting president is the part I'm lost at sea.

Does it mean seeing the acting president out of courtesy was unimportant and his official trip to lagos was more paramount?

Just been curious!

Joachim Gauck is the president of Germany and Angela Merkel is the chancellor of Germany. The difference is that the chancellor is alot higher than the president and the chancellor possesses power just like the president here in Nigeria. In Germany, the president is more ceremonial

Germany has a parliamentary system of government with the Federal Chancellor running the government and the politics of the day. However, the German President has a role which is more than ceremonial with the office being a genuine political office with extensive discretion regarding the way the President exercises his official duties. [2] The Federal President gives direction to general political and societal debates and has some important "reserve powers" in case of political instability (such as those provided for by Article 81 of the Basic Law). [3] Under Article 59 (1) of the Basic Law (German Constitution), the Federal President represents the Federal Republic of Germany in matters of international law, concludes treaties with foreign states on its behalf and accredits diplomats. [4] Furthermore, all federal laws must be signed by the President before they can come into effect; however, he or she can only veto a law that he/she believes to violate the constitution. The Federal President, by his or her actions and public appearances, represents the state itself, its existence, its legitimacy, and unity. The President's office involves an integrative role and the control function of upholding the law and the constitution. It is a matter of political tradition – not legal restrictions – that the Federal President generally does not comment routinely on issues in the news, particularly when there is some controversy among the political parties. [5] This distance from day-to-day politics and daily governmental issues allows the Federal President to be a source of clarification, to influence public debate, to voice criticism, offer suggestions and make proposals. In order to exercise this power, he/she traditionally acts above party politics. [6] The current officeholder is Joachim Gauck who was elected on 18 March 2012.
