APC CLARIFIES PMB ABSENCE IN COAS BURIAL

IF YOU DIDN'T KNOW, KNOW IT NOW by Md Awwal Yusuf:

For a President to be at any funeral or event outside the Presidential Villa, the event must have at least 48hs for intelligence operatives to do surveillance & clearance before the President can go based on the Security report.

In a case where the COAS & his team died yesterday & had to be buried today, you don't expect the President to go there without security clearance.

The min time of 48hs wasn't met. In insecurity parlance, funeral ceremonies are where politically exposed persons face more risks.

GEJ could attend Azazi’s burial because it wasn't done within 24 hours. Security issues and securing the President are not done by emotions or sentiments. There’re laid down procedures that must be followed.

This 48 hours security protocol further proven with the Jonathan – Yar'Adua's experience. It will be recalled that Jonathan too didn't attend Yar'Adua's funeral.

On May 6, 2010, former President Umaru Yar'Adua was buried, and Jonathan who succeeded him was absent at the funeral ceremony which held in Katsina.

Jonathan had been sworn in earlier same day, May 6, 2010, as the substantive president same day, and that could be taken as just less than 12 – 24 hours after he became the president.
