My Absence At Buhari’s Funeral Not Intentional-Peter Obi

Former governor of Anambra State, who was also the LP presidential candidate in the 2023 presidential election, Mr Peter Obi, explained on Wednesday that his absence at former president Muhammadu Buhari’s funeral  in Daura on Tuesday was not intentional.

Mr Peter Obi disclosed that flight restrictions and other factors made it impossible for him to attend the former president’s funeral.

Team@orientactualmags.com learned that Mr Peter Obi said this in Daura on Wednesday after paying a condolence visit to the family of the late former president.

 ‘Yes, it was difficult to come here yesterday because there were no flights.

Even if you had a flight, you couldn’t land at Katsina Airport. It was all closed because of the number of dignitaries attending the burial.

It is believed that the mourning continues today and tomorrow. Whoever comes today or tomorrow is still part of the mourning’ he said.

Mr Peter Obi also recalled what late General Muhammadu Buhari told him when they met during the electioneering period.

‘I had the opportunity to meet him while I was campaigning, and I still remember his words : ‘Please care for the poor Nigerians’. That’s what I always remember.

And I believe he did his best within his capacity. I remember vividly his sincere appeal for fighting and caring for the poor.

We all have to learn how to serve our country, knowing that one day we will be called back by our creator’ he said-Team@orientactualmags.com  Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
