For the second year running, President Muhammadu Buhari on Saturday marked the nation’s Independence Day anniversary inside the Presidential Villa, Abuja, amidst tight security.

The nation’s 56th Independence anniversary was marked with Presidential Change of Guards Parade attended by top government officials, former Nigerian leaders, members of the diplomatic corps and captains of industry

The nation’s 50th anniversary in 2010 was the last held inside Eagles Square, Abuja where it usually held.

The event was marred by bombings allegedly orchestrated by members of the Movement for the Emancipation of Niger Delta led by Henry Okah.

Since then, the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan changed the venue of subsequent independence events to the Presidential Villa.

Buhari did not change the trend as he celebrated the 55th independence anniversary at the same venue last year.

The anniversary which was strictly a military event featured military parade, change of guard, 21-gun salute, signing of anniversary register, release of pigeons and cutting of an  anniversary cake.

Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mr. Yakubu Dogara and a national leader of the All progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu were absent at the event attended by the President of the Senate,  Bukola Saraki; Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Mahmud Mohammed; and other principal officers of the National Assembly.

Former Nigerian leaders who attended the programme included former military Head of State, Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar (retd.); former Chief of General Staff, Gen. Oladipo Diya (retd.); former Vice President Alex Ekwueme; former Vice President Namadi Sambo; a former President of the Senate, Ken Nnamani; and a former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Ghali Na’Abba.

Others in attendance were chieftains of the ruling APC led by the National Chairman, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun; members of the Federal Executive Council, and service chiefs.

God bless buhari,apc and oshobaba

Everybody can't be there. But clearly, Tinubu is aggrieved. I don't know about Dogara though.

I knew Buhari will betray tiinubu, Buhari can not be trusted

Obasanjo,Shonekan, Sagari, Gowon and IBB are conspicuously absent. PMB is obviously losing his goodwill no thanks to Abba Kyari and Mamman Daura who prevents people from coming closer to him.

the worst mistake tinubu will make is to fight PMB,he might end up in jail. He just has to swallow his pride and suck buharis hairy balls

buhari is spending our money, and for poor people to eat a day food is real war for them, yet they used to waste food at aso villa.

For incredible election. Meanwhile his rent is hanging

I pity any southern supporting oppressive and nepotism government attitudes, especially the westerners who pally with the north. Ask yourself, have you seen any northern who openly criticize Buhari? Check the social media they never never attack the mistakes of Buhari due to sentiments(religion) and most southerners will foolishly support Buhari, I just sit and observe. When oil becomes useless, don't expect other regions who are fighting for inclusion in government activities to welcome you with open arms. Guys wise up its not always about shouting afonja, flat head, ipob, etc. Tomorrow when your kids ask you why did you mortage their future to hausa/fulani mafias what will you say? Southerners pls grow up! Happy Sunday and reason well.

In general, a man shud make himsef available for medical examnination wen ;
1) he sees a snake as a rope and plays wt u.
2) he sees a gaint mountain as a shallow gully.
3) he sees a grt lion as a timid cat.
4) etc
They all show poor judgment rada delusionary. Such persons r often in grave condition beaconing for a help dey cannot avail demsevs ; a help capable f restoring dem to normalcy wtout which dey wander about, about, about, away, away away n dey r lost forever.

Tot they said buhari's popularity is soaring n dat his goodwill is still intact yet he did d celebration in aso villa 'amidst tight security'. Nigerians r finding it hard to feed, these over-fed buffoooons r drinking n laffing. Tmoro saint buhari will say he is feeling the pains of Nigerians.
