A Senator-Elect from Kaduna Central Senatorial District, Shehu Sani, yesterday shared on his Facebook page that President Muhammadu Buhari refused to allow an Ambassador to enter the Presidential Villa for a meeting after he arrived 15 minutes late.

According to him: “An Ambasador told me that PMB (President Muhammadu Buhari) invited them for a dinner in the villa scheduled for 7pm. The Ambassador arrived the gate of the villa by 7:15. 

He was denied entry because he was late. He was told that PMB was on the seat at exactly 7pm. He felt bad for been denied entry but felt happy that Nigeria now has a punctual leader, a stickler to time.

He revealed that this is a radical departure from the political culture of the past, where even official matters were delayed for hours and most times even postponed indefinitely.”

The Senator did not disclose the name of the Ambassador but Buhari is widely known for his discipline and ability to enforce it. Many would remember civil servants who were late for work were publicly humiliated by being forced to do frog jumps.
