Tell Nigerians Your Plans Not Foreigners, Odinkalu Tells Buhari

The Chairman of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), Professor Chidi Odinkalu, has called on President Buhari to reveal his plans for Nigeria first to Nigerians before revealing to the international communities anytime he is away on a state visit.

Professor Odinkalu who said this while speaking at a legal conference  in Abuja yesterday September 16th, stated that Nigerians have gotten to hear of President Buhari's plans for Nigeria anytime he is speaking outside the shores of Nigeria. According to him, this action of the president is offensive.

"Change from where we are to where we want to get to involves a discussing process of leaders talking to Nigerians. The idea of always hearing things from our president when he is outside the country is offensive. We need a leadership that will trust our people, speak to our people like we are mature, speak to us like we own this country"he said
