Can you just read what you typed?
The burial is in the FCT not in Sambisa forest.


DeLaRue:
That location yesterday would have been an obvious target for terrorists.

The President and VP may have been advised to give the events a miss.

Did the cabal accept that Yardua was dead? Jonathan was kept incommunicado by the ASO Rock cabal..

Abacha died on 8 June 1998 and Abdulsalam became head of state on 9 June 1998...Abdulsalam had barely taken over when Abacha was buried. So, he couldnt have been there.

What security clearance nonsense of 48 hours?

Buhari has failed woefully in leadership and there is no excuse for cover-up.

I don't even know where they got the idea of 48hrs security clearance. Such barefaced lie. As if it's not this same Nigeria OBJ was president!!

There is something behind the death of that man. When you trace it well you with me that Northern leaders and some APC leaders are not happy with man for killing Boko Haram leader. The death of the man may be set up.

The nation is mourning but some children of ha*te needs their brains to be corrected and few questions begging for answers...

Why was GEJ as Ag. President not present at the burial of late President Yaradau, his immediate Boss?

Why did Pres. Buhari not attend the funeral of his late best friend and Chief of Staff, Abba Kyari who was buried in Abuja too?

Why was Pres. Buhari not at the burial of Isa Funtua?

Should the Vice President attend if he was not delegated by the President? Mind you, presidency is a single body led by the President himself.

It is simple, these men were buried immediately according to Islamic tradition and for the President of Nigeria to be at any ceremony, there must have been at least 48hrs security report/update or he sends delegate, which Mr. President did by sending his Minister for defence.

May soul of our gallant men rest in peace. If you cannot atleast respect their memory, don't be unfortunate to play politics with their burial.

Imagine the Chief of Staff was from SS
And he dead like this ...

The President, for reason best known to him, decided who represented him at the event. He delegated the Defence Minister in this case. If he had wanted the VP to represent him there, he would have delegated him to.
In the absence of such delegation, the VP had no business going there ahead of his boss, regardless of whether all other State Governors were there.

Just to be clear. Jonathan was absent at Yar'adua's burial. General Abdulsalam was absent at Abacha's burial. All these burials all have one thing in common, they happened in less than 24 hours. Too short a time for the DSS to plan their itinerary. Being a President is not child's play. Buhari has been a target for assassination even as far back as 2014 in Kaduna when his convoy was attacked. The risk is higher now than then.

It is well...honestly. It is well with this country. So, so sad.
Once again I express my heart felt condolence to the family of General Attahiru.
God will comfort them at this extremely difficult time and will encourage the entire military community in Nigeria.
Man may abandon you but God sure will not.
It is my sincere hope that the sacrifices of our heroes shall ultimately not be in vain.

The respect of anyone who could clear and forward a whole chief of army staff is the beginning of wisdom. Until the whole and real truth is known it is never safe for the presidency to move around. Kill them before they kill you they will not hear. Be ready to die with your enemies else they wount take you serious them go dey run. Na so e dey end last last. Even the best 400 soldiers that ever lived died but not after wrecking a respect commanding havoc in the very core of their enemies formation. Nothing goes for nothing.

AMINDA:


Jonathan was already acting President before Yar'adua died. Why was Buhari absent at his Chief of Staff, Abba Kyari's burial? Why was he absent at his bosom friend, Isa Funtua's burial?

Hint: It wasn't because of Covid 19. Show me an islamic burial happening in less than 24 hours where Buhari has attended. Buhari attended Yar'adua's burial by the way. The difference is that he wasn't President as at then. You can pontificate all you want, but we all saw what happened to Idris Deby in Chad. Buhari's itinerary does not lie in his hands. It is protocol.

Well, it was because of covid-19. Garba Shehu that attended had to isolate for two weeks before he could be admitted back into the villa.
Jonathan attending or not Yaradua's burial which took place in Katsina and not Abuja by the way is not an excuse for Buhari not to honour his chief army officer with an appearance.

Buhari is a very self-centered person. When his son Yusuf had accident and was hospitalised, Buhari was there at the hospital. When Buharis daughters wedded, he was there. But Buhari cannot attend Burial of his COAS and other officers who died in active service. Na wa o for dis man. Nigeria no get president at all. No wonder everything has gone haywire..

If you don't know, know it now.

For a President to be at any funeral or event outside the presidential villa, it must have at least 48 hours for intelligence operatives to do surveillance and clearance before the President can go based on the Security report.

In a case where the COAS and his team died yesterday and had to be hurriedly buried today, you don't expect the President to go there where there is no security clearance.

The minimum time of 48 hours wasn't met. In insecurity parlance, funeral ceremonies are where politically exposed persons faces more risks.

GEJ could attend Azazi’s burial because it wasn't done within 24 hours.

Security issues and securing the president are not done by emotions or sentiments. There’re laid down procedures that must be followed.

We're in troubling times, everyone must be careful even as we mourn.

They can't be everywhere, they are top government officials who work with schedules. Like I always say, we are too emotional in this country.

What difference will their presence have made, what we should worry about is the aftermath, will the government kick their families out of the residence by next month or will there be provision for their wives and children.
Oh my God. Where was he at the time?
It is either you are a kid or uneducated.

Do you know the significance of his presence in that funeral to the morale of young men of the military who are on the front line ?

It's because he goes on to mourn where his government ought to have prevented a massacre or invincible attack on innocent citizens! He makes it a 'duty' to pretend to empathize with the mourning loved ones of the departed because he knows he and his boss failed them!
