Buhari Yet to Match Obasanjo’s Record on Overseas Travel – Oshiomhole

• Fawehinmi tried to calculate the number of hours Obasanjo was spending in the air compared to the number of hours he was spending on Nigeria’s soil.

National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomole, is holding records of travels of President Muhammadu Buhari and former President Olusegun Obasanjo.

Oshiomhole said that Obasanjo since 1999 been the only President that has traveled out of the country the most.

In his reaction to complaints against President Buhari’s frequent foreign trips overseas, Oshiomole said
the saying that the president is involved in frequent trips is incorrect.

“I remember very well, there is no president in recent Nigeria’s history, since 1999 till now, that traveled out of Nigeria as much as former President Olusegun Obasanjo did.

“If you check through your newspapers and playback some of your electronic coverage, you will find where late Gani Fawehinmi took time to calculate the number of days then President Obasanjo was out of Nigeria, visiting foreign countries.”

Oshiomhole added that the late human rights activist even tried to calculate the number of hours he was spending in the air compared to the number of hours he was spending on Nigeria’s soil.

“So, how can you, that were already an adult when Obasanjo was president suggest that Buhari travels more often than any other person. That is not correct,” he argued.

Buhari is presently out of the country in Saudi Arabia for an official visit. He will then proceed to London for a private visit.
