”World over, such would not be allowed by security details. The young man was prevented, and he protested that he should be allowed to greet his President.
”Now, professional contortionists are making mischief of the event. They are passing the video clip off on social media as an attempt to attack the President.
”Malicious people always twist things to give a negative narrative. But they simply dash their heads against the wall. The country moves on.”
Buhari was in Kebbi State on Thursday to declare open the Argungu Fishing and Cultural Festival.
It was the first time the international tourism event would hold in 11 years, as security considerations had rendered it impracticable. (NAN)
