Buhari’s minister called out for hosting huge crowd in public party, defying FCT Covid-19 guideline
A serving minister in Buhari’s government has been accused of hosting a large crowd in a party at Life Camp, a residential district in phase three of Abuja.
A Nigerian Journalist, Gimba Kakanda who is a neighbour to the minister took to Twitter to call the attention of the Minister of the FCT to the fact that a Minister in the Buhari administration is breaking social distancing guidelines by hosting a large party in FCT.
However, Gimba withheld the name of his neighbour.
Gimba added that the erring Minister’s residence is close to the residence of the FCT Minister.
He wrote:
“Dear FCT Minister @OfficialFCTA, My neigbour, a Minister in Buhari’s government, is having a big loud party right now in Life Camp. There’s a large crowd, and I hear Skales asking them to “shake body.” His residence is just a few minutes away from yours. I hate this animal farm.”
Dear FCT Minister @OfficialFCTA,
My neigbour, a Minister in Buhari’s government, is having a big loud party right now in Life Camp. There’s a large crowd, and I hear Skales asking them to “shake body.” His residence is just a few minutes away from yours. I hate this animal farm.
