| play This is President Buhari's office where rats invaded (Premium Times) A Johannesburg, South Africa-based journalist, Aislinn Laing, has joined those making a mockery of Nigeria's President, Muhammadu Buhari and the Presidential spokesmen after they reported that the President's office was ravaged by rats and rodents. Laing who is currently the Africa Correspondent for the Times of London, took a swipe at the excuse, saying it is one of the silliest she has ever heard that a Presidential office could be invaded by rodents where the furniture, air conditioners and other items were reportedly damaged. Laing who had previously covered some of the biggest stories to come from the continent including the Westgate Mall siege in Kenya, the Oscar Pistorius and Shrien Dewani trials, the Ebola crisis, the civil war in Ivory Coast and the death of Nelson Mandela, wrote that such an excuse could only be told by the dumbest of spokesperson and wondered why Nigerians who have some of the most intelligent minds in the world, would allow such people speak for them. |
