President Muhammadu Buhari’s wife, Aisha has reportedly invited all presidential aspirants from various political parties to Iftar dinner.
The dinner would take place at the State House Conference Centre on Saturday, April 23, 2022.
According to a report by The PUNCH, the invitees were instructed not to come along with their mobile devices.
However, this directive will not apply to Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and governors and ministers who are expected to be at the meeting.
Mrs Buhari’s spokesperson, Aliyu Abdullahi, confirmed the meeting to the paper.
On the directive to the invitees not to go to the venue with phones, the spokesperson said, “There is nothing here. This is a standard operational protocol in the Villa when you are having a meeting with either of the three occupants of the Presidency. I
“If they are coming for an event, this is supposed to be DSS enforced when the president is having an event or the Vice President is having an event or the first lady is having an event. Because outsiders will come. That’s the security and standard protocol.
“That does not apply to the Vice President. How can you expect that to apply to the Vice President or even to ministers?”
