Nigeria’s First Lady, Aisha Buhari has invited presidential aspirants of the different political parties to Ramadan Iftar at the State House Conference Centre.
The presidential aspirants are expected to converge on Aso Villa by 6:30pm on Saturday.
The President’s wife, in her invitation letter, instructed the invitees not to come along with their mobile devices, except for their invitation cards which would serve as their entry pass.
The directive, however, does not apply to the Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo and governors and ministers who will be at the meeting.
The spokesperson of the First Lady, Aliyu Abdullahi, told Punch in an interview that, “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.
“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?”
