According to him, “Saying Mr President is involved in frequent trips is not correct.
“I remember very well, there is no president in recent Nigeria’s history, since 1999 till now, that travelled out of Nigeria as much as former President Olusegun Okikiola Aremu Obasanjo did.
“If you check through your newspapers and playback some of your electronic coverages, you will find where Gani Fawehinmi (of blessed memory) took time to calculate the number of days President Obasanjo was out of Nigeria, visiting foreign countries.
He even tried to calculate the number of hours he was spending on air comparing it to the number of hours he was spending on Nigerian soil.
According to him, “So, how can you, that was already an adult when Obasanjo was President suggest that Buhari travel more often than other persons? That is not correct.”
Meanwhile, The Herald earlier reported that President Buhari would depart Abuja on Monday for Riyadh, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, to attend the third edition of the Future Investment Initiative (FII).
Malam Garba Shehu, the President’s spokesman who disclosed this in a statement in Abuja on Sunday said that event was organised by Saudi’s Public Investment Fund (PIF).
Shehu said the event themed, `What’s Next for Global Business?’ will hold from Oct. 29 to Oct. 31, and would focus on three key pillars: Sustainable Future, Technology for Good and Advanced Society.
Shehu said the three-day event would be held under the patronage of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz of Saudi Arabia and chaired by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz.
The Crown Prince is also the Deputy Premier, Chairman of the Council of Economic and Development Affairs and PIF.
