The Senior Special Assistant to the President, Garba Shehu, says some aides to the President travelled interstate despite a ban on such movement by the Federal Government and the Nigeria Centre for Di
sease Control.programme on Monday, Shehu said people are allowed to move interstate once they present a compelling reason before security agents at checkpoints.
Shehu said, “The Presidency has not failed. Don’t forget there is a caveat in that protocol. When travels are necessitated, they are permitted and even in the Villa, hardly do you have a day without somebody coming from their state whether they are governors and they come to do official business.“Therefore, what is not permitted is frivolous and unwarranted travel.
“We follow what the NCDC and Ministry of Health prescribe. The difference the Villa makes is that there is an eye on everyone,” he said. The police had last week arrested six aides of the First Lady, Aisha Buhari, following an altercation between them and Tunde.
