‘Buhari’s Aides Travel Despite Interstate Lockdown’ – Presidency Exposes

The presidency has disclosed all the President’s aides are allowed to travel despite the interstate lockdown.

This was revealed by the Senior Special Assistant to the President, Garba Shehu in a recent interview with Channels Television.

He stated that these aides are only allowed to move interstate once they present a compelling reason before security agents at checkpoints.

“The Presidency has not failed. Don’t forget there is a caveat in that protocol. When travels are necessitated, they are permitted and even in the Villa, hardly do you have a day without somebody coming from their state whether they are governors and they come to do official business.

Therefore, what is not permitted is frivolous and unwarranted travel. When it is warranted, the people can offer themselves at the checkpoints and once the explanations they give are convincing, they are allowed to proceed. I think this happens all over the country.

We follow what the NCDC and Ministry of Health prescribe. The difference the Villa makes is that there is an eye on everyone.”
