President Muhammadu Buhari was reportedly displeased that some Nigerian based businessmen were present at Washington dinner organized in his honour by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and The Corporate Council on Africa.
According to SAHARA REPORTERS, Buhari openly objected to Nigeria Central Bank Governor Godwin Emefiele letting Jim Ovia, the former Managing Director of Zenith Bank, into the dinner party. He also expressed surprise at the presence of Wale Tinubu, who happens to be a good friend of All Progressives Congress chieftain, Bola Tinubu.
Also, Tony Elumelu, the Chairman of the United Bank for Africa, who was at the dinner yesterday, was only allowed to greet Buhari when it was over.
To express his anger, Buhari departed from his prepared text to tell the surprised crowd he was surprised to see Mr. Ovia, and that he thought the CBN Governor had brought him along.
