Presidential aide, Lauretta Onochie has said that describing the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), as an old man is not a form of disrespect.

Recall that singer Wizkid had called Buhari an old man in a tweet calling the attention of the president to the menace of the Special Anti-robbery Squad, SARS.

He had written:

“Donald Trump is not your business old man!

“Police and SARS are still killing Nigerian youths daily. Do something!”

His post was labelled as disrespectful by Nigerians.

However, Lauretta Onochie who reacted to the post said that:

“Its not disrespectful to call anyone old. Its the way and manner Ayo Balogun addressed the President that leaves a sour taste in the mouth.

“He exhibited crass ignorance, insensitivity and childishness. But hey, he’s a #DumbkidNotWhizKid.

“When he grows up, he might learn respect.”
