Nigeria was the butt of a cheeky piece trivia on CNN as the Global Public Square (GPS), a foreign affairs program anchored by Fareed Zakaria put out a mockery question around the ailing President of the nation.
The President Muhammadu Buhari’s ill-health and Nigeria’s health sector was mocked as the anchor displayed question and answer projecting the country has been abandoned at the will of its president.
Read the the question Zakaria asked during the program below;
“The head of state from which country has not set foot in his homeland in over two months is?”
The options were given as Saudi Arabia, Cuba, Nigeria and Syria, with Nigeria eventually confirmed the answer.
A screenshot of the trivia was tweeted by Chidi Odinkalu, Chairman of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC).
On CNN, @FareedZakaria makes #Nigeria a #QuizAndTriviaissue… a measure of growing national stature!!
Buhari has been receiving medical attention in the United Kingdom since May 7.
Yemi Osinbajo, his deputy, visited him on July 11, and returned the following day to say the President would return to the country “sooner than you expect”.
In the last week, two separate batches of governors visited him the UK as well, many of them expressing divergent opinions of how soon the President is likely to be back in the country.
