How much would the President’s birthday party, attended by governors from various states, cost Nigerians?
I wonder how much the various Governors would spend on this trip from the treasury.
Some said he did not plan it. Of course I know Buhari will not do so. But he should raise his voice against it such that it doesn’t repeat itself. Is he a leader or a follower? If in his position he cannot object to such vanities, where is the greatness that we attach to him. These were the flies that he rebuked some few months ago over going to sleep without paying salaries but they can, without paying the salaries, still attend his birthday without rebuke? A gyara dai.
Oga would have privately celebrated it with his family and those of his close associates - the VP and co, out of his pocket without attracting these flies.
Or he would have chosen to celebrate it by “feeding the poor in the days of hunger” or such other charities which others will scramble to emulate. This closer to the perception we have of him and more in line with his agenda of change than letting it be an occasion for bleeding the treasury by vampires.
Great leaders lead by example and avoid vanity.
Happy birthday.
