Governments Don't Stop Working Because Nations Face Terrorist Threats - Presidency Reacts To Criticisms After Buhari Travelled To Senegal After Kuje Jailbreak

President Muhammadu Buhari

The Presidency has reacted to the backlash from Nigerians after President Buhari left for Senegal hours after the terrorist attacked Kuje prison.

In a brief statement released on social media, the Presidency said governments do not stop working because nations face terrorist threats.

''The Presidency wishes to use this opportunity to react to mounting criticism of the trip to Dakar, Senegal by President Buhari, and to stress that Governments don't stop working because nations face terrorist threats.

To cancel the trip to Senegal would mean that the terrorists are successful in calling the shots, something that no responsible government in the world will allow.''
