Aisha Yesufu, a member of the #BringBackOurGirls (BBOG) campaign group, says President Muhammadu Buhari has chosen to dine with the influential members of the society, neglecting the poor who welcomed him to campaign rallies.
Commenting on the decision of the president to break his fast with only privilege members of the society, Yesufu wondered why some internally displaced persons (IDPs) in the north-east have not been invited.
She said Buhari would have been breaking his fast in IDP camps if the election had been scheduled after the Ramadan season.
She also criticised the president for attending a conference on Syrian IDPs but refusing to visit Bama in Borno state, which has a high population of those displaced by insurgency.

“If this was election period President Buhari would have been going from one IDP camp to another to break fast as it is not he meets his kind ,” she wrote on Twitter.
“With the pictures from IDP Camps and the hunger and death reported, President Buhari is still showing us pictures of feasting as he breaks fast?
“Do you know how many IDP mouths would be fed by the iftar ceremony taking place at Aso villa?

“Where are those masses that used to welcome PMB to rallies? Are they not good for the iftar ceremonies in Aso villa? Ha! Politicians!!
“President Buhari is yet to visit Bama with all the report coming out and you say he is for the people? No way! He is cold and indifferent.
“Pictures that came out of Syria which prompted World leaders to meet in London including PMB were not as bad as those that came out of Bama
“It’s either the president’s advisers/handlers are incompetent or he refuses advice. How can he not visit Bama and Co to assess IDP situation?”

On Monday, he welcomed captains of industries, led by Aliko Dangote, Africa’s richest man.

President Muhammadu Buhari has compromised his cardinal principles to become President.
May Almighty God save him before it too late.
People should be reasonable for once.Must people talk? He has been breaking his fast on a daily basis with different group of people. This rich people you’re talking about are also employers of labour.Is it about the food or what he discussed with them. Leave this man alone to try & solve the country’s many problems rather than making ‘unreasonable’ comments everyday
But the man does not seem to have any idea how to solve the country’s problems. He is blank and confused. Unfocused is the word
Any who expects buhari to solve the country’s problem with his intellect is quite deluded…but as the sitting president one should expect him to put an excellent team to solve the country’s many problems… it is quite shameful the set of ministers. he spent about a year to select…its very the govt lacks focus
