A Nigerian journalist based in Washington, D.C, has revealed how he almost came close to asking president Muhammadu Buhari question during his state briefing with U.S president, Donal Trump at the White House yesterday.

According to the reporter, Simon Ateba who was among other journalists present at the briefing , he was prevented by a lady from asking a question as he realized that the president had already been told of the questions which were meant to be asked.

Below is what he shared on Facebook.

I did not ask a question today to President Trump or President Buhari because the White House has a protocol. It asks every President to choose 2 journalists who will ask them questions. Nigerian questions went went through the Nigerian Embassy.

The President was told what they will ask him. I felt sad. I raised my hand and President Trump came close to making me ask my question. One Nigerian lady in New York was hitting me in the back not to ask a question.

It was not my day here in the Rose Garden inside the White House in Washington DC. But after the questions were asked, I realized that I may be playing on a different league. I thank God.

Being independent in journalism is crucial. But sustaining it is hard without enough ads. When the government flies you to DC, lodges you and promises you money, it's hard to do serious journalism work. But I thank God for blessing.

we know but that is what the journalist is saying....The protocol makes it hard to do serious journalism because you must ask the president a FAVORABLE question.

A country is hosting another and obviously would not want to make the hosted feel uncomfortable during his/her visit. That's not about the PFRN but protocol.

Same would happen were the POTUS to visit Aso.

Most of us voted him for his zero tolerance to corruption and in all fairness,he has not disappointed in that area.

Zero tolerance to corruption indeed.

Forget APC and PDP, maintain an objective mind instead.
