It was like a nollywood movie as Diezani runs after Buhari at airport

Firstclass newsline learnt that there was a mild drama at the Nnamdi
Azikwe International Airport, Abuja on Friday, as the Minister of
Petroleum Resources, Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke, ran to catch up with
the President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari.
Both Buhari and the minister on Friday morning travelled out of the
country to London on the same flight. A source gathered that they both
boarded a British Airways flight that left the airport at about 4.30am
on its way to Heathrow Airport, London.
But while Buhari was going to board his flight, a mild drama took
place at the airport.
Sources, who witnessed the drama, told one of our correspondents that
the minister raced in a bid to catch up with Buhari, who had undergone
airport screening before her.
It was learnt that the President-elect, who reportedly arrived the
airport before the minister, was cleared first and he went straight
into the aircraft.
It was further gathered that when Diezani arrived the airport and got
news that Buhari had already boarded the flight, she hurriedly ran to
ensure that she entered the plane.
In fact, sources at the airport stated that the petroleum minister
left behind her aides while running to catch up with Buhari. A source
on the ground, who witnessed the drama, said, "The man (Buhari) was at
the front and had already passed the screening team. And immediately
the woman (Diezani) came down, it was as if they told her that the
President-elect was already inside the aircraft, so she started
running. She even left her pe ople behind so that she could board the
flight along with the President-elect.
"This happened between 4am and 5am this (Friday) morning and the
airline involved was British Airways. The flight was on its way from
Abuja international airport to Heathrow Airport, London."
An online medium,Sahara Reporters,reported on Friday that efforts of
the minister, during the six-hour flight, to speak with Buhari failed.
According to the report, the President-elect only greeted
Alison-Madueke during the boarding process.
It stated that the minister allegedly tried many times to stir a
conversation with Buhari, but the latter shunned her.
The flight was reported to have arrived at Heathrow in London at
2:15pm, but the passengers disembarked at 2:45pm. The Federal Ministry
of Petroleum Resources, refused to comment on the issues when
contacted.Calls to the mobile phone of its spokesperson, Mr. Kingsley
Agha, were ignored while a text message to him was not replied.
He was asked to explain why the minister travelled and her action at
the airport.
But the media team of the President-elect issued a statement saying
his visit to Britain was private.
In a statement signed by the head of Buhari's media team, Malam Garba
Shehu, this was the first of such visit outside the country since
winning the March 28th presidential election.
The statement, which was issued in Abuja on Friday, partly read,
"General Muhammadu Buhari will use the opportunity of the visit to
take a much-deserved rest ahead of his inauguration on May 29.
"He is expected back in the country a few days before the
inauguration, refreshed and ready to hit the ground running once he is
sworn into office."
