Governors, Ministers, Shun Burial Of Late COAS Attahiru, Attend Wedding by deantimes(op): 4:42am On May 23, 2021

Amidst national grief on the day the late Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Ibrahim Attahiru, is being buried, some Northern governors and ministers rather than join Nigerians to mourn, attended the wedding ceremony of Abubakar Malami’s son.

Mr Attahiru died on Friday in a plane crash with 10 other military personnel onboard the flight. The departed were buried today at the National Military Cemetery in Abuja.

President Muhammadu Buhari who appointed Mr Attahiru to the position earlier this year failed to show up personally, though it was later confirmed that he sent the Defence Minister, Bashir Magashi, to represent him.

Mr Malami, the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) is also the Minister of Justice. His son, Abirul-Rahman, wedded today at Alfurqan Juma’at mosque in the Kano metropolis.

The wedding was attended by Umar Ganduje of Kano; Bello Metawalle of Zamfara; Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto; Abubakar Bagudu of Kebbi and Muhammad Yahaya of Gombe.

Aside the five state governors from the North, Ministers and federal lawmakers also graced the occasion, according to Abubakar Aminu Ibrahim, media aide to Kano State governor.

Below are some photos from the event as shared by Mr Ibrahim on his Facebook page.

A former presidential aspirant, Adamu Garba, registered his displeasure at the development.

“If it is true that at the time Nigeria is going through a national tragedy of loosing our revered hero, General Attahiru, but some Northern Governors are busy celebrating a wedding ceremony of a Attorney General/Justice Minister’s son, in Nigeria, then this is a double tragedy,” Mr Garba wept on Twitter.

Malami is the defacto president, what do you expect?
Buhari wasn’t even there either so cut the governors some slack

It's a no brainer, Malami is the new head of the presidential cabal and all of them are looking for his favour.

Hmmm. The governors are always complaining of insecurity the man fighting the insecurity was dead on active service and no one could honor him with just 30 minutes even Deputies could not be sent. Does that mean that they don't love him or what? Even the man that Gen Buhari (retd) sent said he come to express his heartless condolences
Where did we get it wrong as a nation? Fighting for Nigeria is not a sensible option

Maybe the COAS wasn't important, or maybe he was even in their way, so to them it might just be good riddance... Hypothetically speaking.

See them smiling while their country is in shambles ... Let this be a point of reference for 2023 vote wisely or suffer foolishly. These people don't care for anybody but the amount of zeros to the right of their bank statement.

The dude with all their corruption case files huh

?

Yourself check am na

Who you go attend to ?? The other one wouldve provided military men IF he was alive.

So the next best thing is to wait for his successor and add him to family and friends.

It's a horror show

In as much as I'd like to say maybe those governors are not close pal with the late COAS

But his position deserves some kind of reference

Imagine US/Russia COAS died, can the state governors gather to attend a wed because it was pre-planned?

Maybe sending delegates would have made sense.

But then what do I know?

And then, this Nigeria anything goes

even the GCFR no attend.

Lol innocent civilians die every day, same goes for military men, they never showed any form of respect to them neither do they visit their families or cater for them. So why do you guys expect something different tongue
