Babangida, Obasanjo, GEJ fail to support Buhari’s second term inauguration

Ex-military president Ibrahim Babangida, and Ex-Presidents Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan failed to support Buhari today by being absent at his second term inauguration.

The only past head of government present at the Buhari-Osinbajo inauguration was ex-Military Head of State Gen. Yakubu Gowon (retd), who occupied the middle section of the seats reserved for people in that category.

Gowon has been an ardent supporter of the Buhari administration, as he holds regular prayer meetings with large churches on behalf of the country under his Nigeria Pray movement, with the active support of Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo.

Buhari’s swearing-in took place at the Eagle Square, Abuja.

The Presidency had said that the inauguration would be low-key.
