President Obama has left the US to travel to Kenya for his African tour that will take him to Ethiopia also, leaving the Nigerian President, Maj Gen Muhammadu Buhari (rtd) in the US.
International Diplomats were not perplexed about this unusual development, as they are aware that Buhari’s visit was planned at his instance, through Mr David Axellrod (Obama’s former Campaign manager) and this overlapped Obama’s long scheduled African tour.
Buhari’s visit was described by the US Foreign office as a private visit and not an official one and there is no way it will interfere with Obama’s official program.
The Nigerian President will not be coming back with any documented agreement with the US pledging any help on the Nigerian economy or the war on terror, implying that this N2.2billion tour succeeded in achieving nothing for Nigeria and is now another wasted journey.
