President Buhari phobia for wearing face mask


Nigerian President Mohammadu Buhari on Thursday proved the naysayers wrong when he arrived in Bamako, capital of Mali, adorning a face mask, his first time of being seen with the protective gear to wade of the spread of Covid-19.
Right from the aircraft that conveyed him to the meeting with other presidents of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) to resolve political crisis brewing in the sahel region, the president wore his facemask and also at the meeting held by the five ECOWAS leaders with the president of Mali.
President Buhari, like his United States counterpart, Donald Trump has spurned the wearing of facemask with his aides saying the president need not wear one, even at official meetings.
However, just like Trump who emerged in the public last week with a black face mask, Buhari came down from the aircraft with his white facemask and up to the point of inspecting the guard of honour and his meeting with the other heads of states.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) in the wake of the outbreak of Coronavirus pandemic recommended face mask as part of protocols to prevent the spread of the dreaded disease.
