President Muhammadu Buhari rejected suggestions to cancel a lavish dinner with members of his party at the State House on Sunday night, saying horrific massacres like the one witnessed on Sunday morning at a Catholic parish in Ondo occur every day in Nigeria across its diverse regions, according to one official who was directly involved in the discussion. Another official who heard that the discussion took place but did not participate directly offered corroboration to Peoples Gazette in the early hours of Monday.

“Mr President was told that some party leaders are asking whether they should still come to the Villa for the scheduled dinner, but he said we should tell them to come,” the official said. “He said in Hausa and English that security agencies are overwhelmed by violent deaths from different regions of the country every day.”

Aides said the president only felt obliged to issue a condolence message and give marching orders to security agencies in the hope that the suspects are promptly apprehended and charged.

“He said if everything that needed to be done about press statement had been done, then protocols should remain activated for the event,” our source added.

The second official, who belonged to another department and did not play a direct role in the dinner preparation, said he was told exactly the same.

“There is no difference between what you’re asking me and what I was told when I got to the office and asked why the president left for the dinner,” the second official said. Both aides spoke under anonymity to avoid losing their positions at the Presidential Villa.

Why will anyone expect Buhari that was in a celebratory mood after the success of his foot soldiers in Owo to cancel the dinner.

Please do not take politicians serious, please don’t fight because of them.

Unbelievable! Well, it's actually believable.

I imagine these guys laugh at the dead in their meetings and bedrooms and then put on teary eyes before the cameras.

All Southwest aspirants has to step down now for either Tinubu or Osibanjo,so the region can have block votes for the candidate tomorrow.

I salute the courage of the northern governors, if Adamu thinks he can unilaterally impose an unpopular candidate on the party then he must be joking.

But come to think of it, Adamu is from the north, why is he imposing a northern candidate, didn't he know, that he has to resign if a northerner clinch the ticket?

Well, all these shall end latest Wednesday, we will know if APC is ready to survive or die.

Lol enjoyment politicians.

Tinubu needs to join LP, support Peter and redeem himself amongst the south

Oniro Razor gazette at it again.

Shameless media

Jagaban, or PYO or Lawan, APC is between the devil and the deep blue sea. Atiku picking PDP presidential ticket actually rattled APC. Jagaban will have the problem of a running mate who is acceptable to the North. North will never support a pastor. Lawan is a green horn when it comes to presidential election. Those who voted Atiku in 2019 will have no strong reasons to change their minds. Those who did not vote for him did not because Buhari was on the ballot at that time not because Buhari was APC. Atiku will likely pick the bulk of Buharis 2019 votes.

Fools

Give us the main news and not all these rubbish

Na APC primary I dey wait for like this, I can't wait to see some people wail in pain.

Ok

Simple…
Human life means nothing to a beast.

There is no way he would canceled it

It is the last supper before those who think that presidency is their retirement benefit brogre they will be served breakfast

We are not surprised afterall.

Even if tinubu gets the ticket by tomorrow against all odds just bear it in mind he won't win the general election.
