Shonekan: FG Orders National Flag To Fly At Half-Mast by ijustdey(op): 8:12pm On Jan 11, 2022
PRESIDENT Muhammadu Buhari has directed that the national flag be flown at half-mast, effective from Wednesday, January 12 to Friday, 14 as a mark of respect for the former Head of the Interim Government, Late Chief Ernest Adegunle Oladeinde Shonekan.

Shonekan died on Tuesday, January 11, 2022, at the age of 85.

Secretary to the Goverment of the Federation, Mr Boss Mustapha, conveyed this in a statement on Tuesday in Abuja.

Shonekan was the interim head of the Nigerian Government between August 26 and November 17, 1993 when he was ousted in a coup led by late General Sani Abacha.

The one-paragraph statement by the SGF read: “Following the death of the former Head of the Interim Government, late Chief Ernest Adegunle Oladeinde Shonekan, President Muhammadu Buhari, has directed that the national flag be flown at half-mast, effective from Wednesday 12th – Friday 14th, January 2022 as a mark of respect for the former Head of State who died on Tuesday 11th January 2022 at the age of 85.”

Eye service.

The flag doesn't mean anything to an average Nigerian living in Nigeria.

No one will notice this shit.

He was the 3rd oldest living ex-head of state of Nigeria at the time of his death. The other two being Yakubu Gowon & Queen Elisabeth II. RIP E’pa. The way dis 2022 is starting I hope it’s not trying to compete with 2021 in suffer-head maintenance. undecided
