President Muhammadu Buhari has worn a mask for the first in public since the start of the coronavirus pandemic
Buhari’s photos with mask on his face appeared after his arrival in Bamako, the capital of Mali on ECOWAS peace mission.
The president was being joined by President Issoufou Mahamadou of Niger Republic, Presidents Machy Sall of Senegal, Nana Akufo-Addo of Ghana and Alassane Ouattara of Cote d’Ivoire to a meeting with Mali President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita to engage in further consultations towards finding a political solution to the crisis in the country.
Nigerians have often wondered why the president was not wearing face mask especially during his meeting with officials.
But Buhari’s Personal Assistant on Social Media, Lauretta Onochie, explained that expert medical protocol states that there is no need for face mask when in a safe environment, hence Buhari’s reason for not wearing it.
