President Muhammadu Buhari in a face mask for the first time
Nigeria’s President, Muhammadu Buhari, was spotted with a face mask for the first time since the advent of the dreaded Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic in the country. His administration through the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19, which he set up to combat the spread of the virus in the country had recommended the compulsory use of face mask while in public but the president refused to comply.
But while visitors to the Presidential Villa are always seen with face masks, Buhari has never been seen with one. But in a photograph shared by his personal photographer, Bayo Omoboriowo, on Thursday, the President adorned face mask in Bamako, Mali. The photograph showed the President with the white face mask as he disembarks the presidential jet, which took him from Nigeria to Mali
The photographer captioned the photograph as “@MBuhari arrives Bamako, Mali for the peace mission by the ECOWAS Head of states. 23rd July 2020.” Buhari and some West African leaders are currently in the Malian capital to find a solution to the worsening political crisis in the francophone country.
