Some Nigerians on Tuesday protested in Paris, the French Capital while President Buhari was attending the Africa Finance Summit. 

The Nigerians who carried the #HarassBuhariOutofParis placards lamented that Buhari had failed the country and his government had been characterised by bad governance, bloodshed, killings and poor policies.

SaharaReporters had on Wednesday exclusively reported that Buhari would be in Paris for at least four days, where he had also been scheduled to meet his doctors.

“Buhari will be heading to Paris for four days. He was planning to go to Kampala (Uganda) and travel to London, the United Kingdom, to see his doctors, but they opted to meet him in Paris. He will be travelling on Saturday,” a presidential source had disclosed.

But the plan was later shelved and the decision to send Vice President Yemi Osinbajo to Uganda to represent Buhari was made at the last minute when it appeared that the UK trip was not feasible.
