There is a trending video on the social media showing a convoy of President Muhammadu Buhari being booed by people of Borno State during a sympathy visit to Maiduguri over the recent killing of travellers by Boko Haram terrorists in the State.
Residents on both sides of the road along the airport expressway publicly expressed their disapproval by booing the convoy, shouting in Hausa: “Ba ma so, Ba Ma yi,” which roughly translates: “We don’t like it, we won’t do it.”
President Buhari landed in Maiduguri, the Borno State capital, from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia to pay a sympathy visit to the government and people of the State following the recent horrific incident in which Boko Haram terrorists killed several travellers.
President Buhari was in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia attending the 33rd Ordinary Session of Heads of State and Government of the African Union when Boko Haram terrorists attacked travellers on Auno village along Maiduguri-Damaturu Road.
Some residents claimed that it was not the President who was booed, but the Service Chiefs in the convoy, who were blamed for not containing the excesses of terrorists in the North East.
Meanwhile, PRNigeria has confirmed that the video is genuine and the residents were actually booing the convoy of the President, which included Ministers and Security Chiefs, during the condolence visit.
