Many of the workers working in the Presidential Villa, Abuja, have expressed their disappointment over what they described, as a sycophantic meeting hurriedly organised by President Muhammadu Buhari, on Wednesday, June 21, a few days after returning from his 14-day medical vacation leave in London.
After the meeting, the workers groaned
that the presidency kept them in the heat of the sun, only to end up,
“hearing the same old song of jailing looters without considering their
welfare”.
According to the Cable; “When Aso Rock
staff got a circular on Wednesday morning, directing them to attend an
“emergency meeting” with President Muhammadu Buhari, they were thrilled.
“Many of them thought it was going to be
a heart-to-heart talk, and had planned to discuss burning welfare
issues with the president. Indeed, many of them were glad they would see
him closely for the first time in their lives.”
Reacting to the meeting, a worker said:
“You can then imagine our shock when the State House permanent secretary
(Jalal Arbi), who led us to the meeting, told the president we only
came to welcome him back from his medical trip.”
Femi Adesina, the presidential
spokesman, had said staff from 12 departments of the State House came to
bid Buhari, a “warm welcome”.
