Strong Reactions As Buhari Stuns In Face Mask

By Ella Makondo

President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday appeared for the first time in face masks as he made his first trip out of the Presidential Villa and out of the country since the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The sight of the president in a face mask has drawn varied but positive comments on social media even from friends and foe of the president who put aside the pains of the COVID-19 pandemic and the insecurity in the land to put through their comments on social media.

A  photograph of the president was  shared by his personal photographer, Bayo Omoboriowo, on Thursday while disembarking from the presidential jet  in Bamako, Mali and among fellow summiteers.

The photograph showed  President Buhari with a white face mask as he arrived Bamako, Mali for the peace mission by the Economic Community of West African States ( ECOWAS) Head of states to  find a solution to the worsening political crisis in the francophone country.

Omoboriowo captioned the photograph as “@MBuhari arrives Bamako, Mali for the peace mission by the ECOWAS Head of states. 23rd July, 2020.”

It would be recalled that the presidential Task Force on COVID-19 had recommended the compulsory use of face mask while in public as one of the guidelines meant to curtail further spread of the virus in the country.

But, president Buhari was never seen wearing any face mask even as all  visitors to the Presidential Villa are always seen with face masks.

Many Nigerians who put aside their pains arising from the COVID-19 pandemic and the insecurity in the land were near unanimous in their adulation of the gait and good looks of their aged president!

Many of the commentators were also taken in by the professionalism of the president’s photographer who took the shots.
