'Buhari Lifeless': FG To Summon U.S. Ambassador Over Trump’s Comment by Ebullience(m): 12:03pm On Aug 28, 2018 |
…US Embassy, FG Keep Mum over Trump’s ‘Buhari Lifeless’ Report by Financial Times BY: Victoria Ojeme ABUJA – U.S. Ambassador to Nigeria, Stuart Symington, is expected to be summoned by the Federal Government over the comment allegedly made by President Donald Trump about President Muhammadu Buhari in April. The United States Embassy in Abuja has refused to respond officially to a report in the Financial Times of London, where US President, Donald Trump was alleged to have described Nigeria’s President, Muhammadu Buhari as not only being ailing but also lifeless. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs as at the time of filing this report, kept mum over since the news broke. The FT while reporting the planned meeting between Trump and his Kenya’s counterpart, Uhuru Kenyatta billed for last Monday, claimed that Trump after meeting with Buhari last April, the first with any African leader told his aides, “he never wanted to meet someone so lifeless again”. The Monday meeting which according to the report is part of efforts by the Trump administration to foster stronger ties with Africa is hoped would end US neglect of the continent. Already, the White House said Uhuru Kenyatta’s Kenya was one of closest US security and trade partners in Africa. “Donald Trump will welcome Kenya’s Uhuru Kenyatta to the White House on Monday for what will be only the second one-on-one meeting the US president has held with a sub-Saharan African leader since he took office last year. “The first meeting, with Nigeria’s ailing 75-year-old Muhammadu Buhari in April, ended with the US president telling aides he never wanted to meet someone so lifeless again, according to three people familiar with the matter”, part of the report claimed. However, when contacted, officials of the embassy declined comments on the issue. Calls to the spokesperson at the embassy, Russell Brooks, were not answered and another staff at the embassy who pleaded anonymity refused to also say anything. On the Kenya’s President visit, the report said advocates of closer US-Africa ties hope the encounter with the much younger Kenyatta, 56, “will breathe fresh life into a relationship with a region that Washington is seen to have neglected as other countries, notably China, develop ever-closer trade and investment ties with the continent”. Adding that, “Africa has never been high on his radar but if the big guy likes you he’ll find a way to make things work.” Trump is widely criticised for not having an Africa policy. So it’s in his interest to have something from [meeting Kenyatta] he can present as a win. https://www.vanguardngr.com/2018/08/fg-to-summon-u-s-ambassador-over-trumps-alleged-lifeless/

The invitation if true goes to show how stupid and myopic the FG is. The 'lifeless' comments is just a private discussion, which Trump can deny anyway there's nothing formal about it. Even if Trump afiirms it, what can the FG do? Ask Trump to apologize or what? Send the US ambassador away from Nigeria? Close the US embassy? Impose sanctions on the US? Impose higher tariffs on US goods coming into Nigeria? What can Buhari do? 280 Likes 26 Shares |

Why do you want reveal the truth that I’ve long died and buried in Saudi Arabia. Why do you want to reveal to the world that it’s Jubril from Sudan that visited the White House.

You don't give prior notice before you summon an ambassador in your country. You summon them and they appear at once! This is the first time I'm reading in the news that a country is making plans to summon an ambassador within its boarders. #BuhariIsweak 28 Likes 1 Share |
