President Muhammadu Buhari has warned against stoppage of officials of
past administrations from traveling abroad .The president says all
officials including ministers are entitled to their full rights and
privileges under the constitution and must not be subjected to any undue
harassment and intimidation at the airports or at other points of entry
and exit.
Responding to some cases of “V.I.P stoppages” at the airports as
reported to him on Saturday, a statement by Garba Shehu, Head of
Buhari’s media team read..
“We have not banned anyone from travelling”.“Unless otherwise directed
by the courts, no law-abiding citizens should be barred from travelling
abroad. We must treat fellow citizens with courtesy and respect.
Officials at the borders and other points of entry and exit should
conduct their affairs in strict compliance with due process. No one has
my permission to bar anyone from travelling abroad,” the president said.
President Buhari directed all agencies under the government to run their
affairs in full compliance with extant rules, regulations and the
constitution of the country.
