What are you guys doing here…Did I invite you people? – Buhari

By Femi Ajayi

Time was, when phantoms in scarlet persistently passed as men of honour while the righteous faded in obscurity or lay spent in trenches of blood. Hence it was no surprise that Nigerian businessmen, Jim Ovia, Tony Elumelu, Wale Tinubu and Godwin Emefiele, Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), in desperate bid to dig their claws into President Muhammadu Buhari, bought first class tickets and flew after him to the United States of America.

But the snag was, they were uninvited; even so, they embarked on a desperate quest to establish themselves as Nigeria’s top businessmen and cronies of the incumbent president. Back when Goodluck Jonathan was president, they would have gotten away with such brazen disregard for protocol; in fact, they would have constituted a crucial part of the former president’s travel plans. But a new sheriff is in town and the businessmen are yet to get with his programme.

Thus they had sheepishly gone to attend a meeting with Buhari in America and Buhari on sighting them reportedly asked, “My friends, what are you doing here? Did I invite you people? You are not needed here,” Buhari allegedly told them. Shamefacedly, they gathered their folders and left the meeting. Their steps became very heavy as they trudged out of the venue.

It was indeed a big disgrace to these businessmen who once formed a ring around the former President Jonathan. They quietly left the venue with their tails and gargantuan pride tucked between their legs.

All around the world, presidential politics has always been a game of the wealthy, for the wealthy and by the wealthy. Men of means have always had a say and in several instances, determined the course of political and socioeconomic affairs in the country. This becomes imperative in their desperate bid to establish their dominance and affluence sustainably. The need to maintain their controlling grip on their country’s economy, rather than ensuring that the nation’s commonwealth is equitably distributed has always been the only ideological and selfish motive driving their political participation.

Consequently, the superrich of the nation’s high society are continually seen as the arrowheads of plots and movements to institute and sustain political hegemony via a puppet leader or party. Political pundits are of the opinion that the President Buhari needs to stay away from these men and women who have perfected the knack for soiling the hands of any President and sullying the his administration by their self-serving pursuits which often manifests devastatingly on the lot of the citizenry and to the detriment of the country.

Mr President gave the clowns forewarning, DONT COME !
Yet, they came. Do you think these guys mean well for the progress of Nigeria ?
They only came in the interest of their own pocket.
PMB knows what he's doing !

Point of correction @op the CBN governor is among the entourage of Mr President.

Thsi would lead to somewhere.

please help me tell the lazy Op again, when they call good article writers, the OP sef wud show face, na wa oh

If this is true, then I must say our "dear president" got it all wrong. In the first place, aw would you go for a diplomatic meeting without business gurus from your country?". It is a common practice around the world. President Obama is in Kenya with league of American business men, just to ensure that they seal high business deals and repatriate the returns to America. That is how countries are built.

This same Buhari cannot do without them hence they fight him with their money. You know what that means Dollard dey rule

But Adam's wife is allowed

is this part of the delegation too, I mean d pics?

Emiefele is a stooge to jim ovia. He pledges his allegiance to his former employer than the govt he is serving.

Pmb warned them before that he doesn't need any business men around him, yet the albino would not listen, he dragged his boss along .

This now shows that it is emiefele's cluelessness and wrong policies that's depreciating the naira.

No wonder he was appointed by a clueless man like him.

NB..... SATANIST AND WAILING WAILERS, IF YOU QUOTE ME, IT MEANS YOU ARE ALSO CLUELESS.

These are men who create jobs for a lot of nigeria's and the least their president can do is to carry them along in international circles so they can meet and solicit for buisness fir the unemployed back home. Even obama went to India with nearly 400 u.s buisness leaders. The thinking of this buhari is rather puzzling.

The last time I checked...Mrs Oshiomole isn't a businesswoman. Get it ?

No businessmen/women allowed !
Its a simple directive from the president. What is so hard about complying with that ?

Puzzling or not. It is a simple directive. Why can't they comply ?

Look at them smiling with GEJ, where's GEJ today ?

pls name,a diplomatic meeting Obama went to with business men and name the business men that went there with him,I can't imagine Donald Trump or the likes of Warren Buffet following Obama overseas when they're not invited,next time,think before you talk because your comment makes no single sense

Haurmeday25:

So? This woman is not different from Oshiomole bringing a teddy bear along with him,i bet she won't say a word nor talk to anyone till they leave that place cos her class is not there,so,they don't notice her. Its like your parents telling you to stay in the car while they attend to big men in an outing

Your stupidity is begging for mercy. If you lack the information and education to know that diplomatic tours are made for business deals and expansion of stakes in other countries. You think western leaders spend billions of dollars travelling to anoda country for merry making? When you don't know, you ask questions and humble yourself to learn. Omo ale jatijati
