■ Last-minute Chatham House request to save face
■ No live audience - will speak to mainly twitter users
■ Meeting restricted to only screened aides
■ Questions will be composed and screenedn

Guardian News - Houston, TX - The basic issues of Muhammadu Buhari’s unpreparedness for a presidential race he is currently engaged in have been worsened by his impromptu trip to the United Kingdom, unearthing more controversies by the hour. Close campaign aides from his party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) had smuggled him to London to seek solutions for his fading fitness, but deceptively claimed the trip was connected to a proposed engagement in the Chatham House, an independent policy institute based in London. The institute quickly denied any engagement with General Buhari, and in fact, referred our field reporters to their complete event schedule made public in the website at the time.

To save face, Buhari’s aides quickly contacted the Chatham House late last week, to secure a self-sponsored address spot where he would be allowed to read his own script through a live stream, rather than a live audience. International Guardian gathered that campaign has already circulated notices in the social media, asking all APC members to log in with specified Twitter hatch tags to generate substantial audience. A long script was prepared to coach the General on issues of democracy and the future of Africa. It was also gathered that questions have been prepared ahead and screened while the audience are being deceived into sending in questions for their august cyber guest.

A Chatham House official told the International Guardian London correspondent, Adejumoke Agboola that Buhari’s meeting is restricted and prohibited to both the public and the media. According to Mrs. Agboola, “Buhari’s camp in London claimed that e-tickets would be provided for the public, but when I asked to purchase one they told me that the event was now full and registration was closed.” Most APC members and their friends in in the UK are already in London to give Buhari a requested support. “I don’t really following the Nigerian politics, but I came with my husband to see Buhari – we live in Liverpool. The funny thing is that we have not even seen him– it’s either one story or the other.”

An initial assessment of the schedule by our newsroom shows that only three major events relevant to issues of Africa throughout the rest of February . Also, only three speakers from different parts of Africa were listed at the time. Maj. Gen. Obed Akwa, the commandant and executive director, Kofi Annan International Peacekeeping Training Centre, Madame Bineta Diop, special envoy for Women, Peace and Security, African Union, and Hon César Mba Abogo, Secretary of State for Planning and Development, Republic of Equatorial Guinea. A late registration put’s Buhari on the list without the usual Chatham House tradition. “It is normal” said one of the institution’s event facilitator. “We try to accommodate all events provided it meets our basic requirements.”

Buhari’s UK travel controversy, especially the Chatham House woes further diminishes his acclaimed impeccable honor, and contradicts APC’s acclaimed mission to fight corruption. In London, Buhari’s itinerary has been an annoying secrecy. Most campaign members in his entourage claimed that they have been kept out his whereabouts. The Nigerian community who were eager to keep up with activities surrounding his visit were also disappointed. For instance, Buhari, it was gathered did not show up in the first forum quickly put together at the Park Plaza Hotel in Westminster to generate some photo moments for his campaign. Only his wife, Hajiya Aishatu Buhari and Dolapo Osibanjo, the spouse of the party’s vice presidential candidate and a few other party loyalists showed up at the event.

“For an election just less than five weeks ago, it is unusual that a major contender would jet-off to a foreign land for such long period unannounced without a major reason – I smell a rat,” said Martha Ugowe, a citizen who spoke to us from Lagos . “We are talking about Nigerian voters voting in Nigeria – so how would a visit and meetings in UK help an average voter in a Nigerian village?” she asked.

The many contradictions of Buhari .
- He will fight corruption but Tinubu is his friend.
- He will give us security but he was pushed out of office like a chicken by his subordinates.
- He is honest but lies about his qualification.
- He has no N 27 million to buy presidential nomination form but the wife has N 135 million worth of drugs to donate.
- He is poor but all his children schools abroad.
- He will fight terrorism but sees others fight against terrorism as anti-north.
- He will help the youth but is never known to have helped a single almajiri even in Daura.
- He will fix the economy but has not even basic rudiment of economics.
- He will fix education but is unschooled himself.
- He wants to benefit from democracy but overthrew a democratic government.
- He obtained school certificate but cannot produce "the certificate".
May God protect us from this hypocrite.
Above all, he is a half star general who built his entire military career on fraud, falsehood and kwaruption! Tufiakwa....

It breaks my heart to say it but Buhari is either very sick or dead. I wonder why he allowed himself to be sacrificed on the altar of Tinubu's ambition. Despite the makeup and big agbada,dude looked old,frail and worn during the campaigns.

Schematics:
Buhari is finished..lol

You guys make me laugh with your myopia and self-destructive outlook. It is Nigerians, along with you and yours, who are finished if GEJ is elected to lead Nigeria for another four years. When the President who has earned by far the most income of all Nigerian Presidents, courtesy of crude selling for around $100-$110 per barrel for the period of his tenure, could only deliver darkness, monumental corruption, insecurity, biggest scams in Nigeria's history, record level of oil theft, institutional bankruptcy, inadequate healthcare, infrastructural dearth et al then it is not Buhari who is "finished" if GEJ continues.

It is you and average Nigerians who are finished if GEJ and his gang continue in power because they will now have to satisfy their huge appetite for stealing and corruption from less than half the income Nigeria was receiving courtesy of crude now selling for $50.00 per barrel. Now they have to steal from income generated through oil selling at $50.00 per barrel when they were already very merciless robbing you when oil sold for $110.00 per barrel. Continue to make your hatred of Buhari a personalised one while you take your eyes of what GEJ will do to your future and that of generations unborn. Buhari is only trying to lead and do the right thing. He is a privileged and blessed man already who has recorded every success and happiness a good and productive life bring. The same cannot be said for millions of Nigerians and it is them you should think about if you are wise and indeed sensible.
