Minister of Petroleum Diezani Alison Madueke booked herself on same flight with Gen Buhari on a Flight to London yesterday.
According to SaharaReporters all efforts made by the Minister to speak to Gen Buhari on board the British airways flight were abortive, as the President-elect only greeted her during boarding process and quietly took his seat 2K while the Minister booked 3K directly behind Buhari.
It was revealed that she rose up several times and tried to start up a conversation with the President -elect but the general only nodded and let her go back to her sit.without granting that avenue for such unwarranted intrusion.they arrived 2.15pm and disembarked at 2.45pm
When the airline crew announced passenger disembarkation, Buhari asked Diezani if she had any of her bags in the overheard compartment so he could step out of her way. It then turned out she had occupied the entire overheard compartments with several of her carry-on bags, traveled with two of her aides also in First Class. Buhari was reportedly traveling with only one aide.
Other Nigerian dignitaries in the First Class compartment of the flight included the chairperson of the National Electricity Commission, Sam Amadi, as well as Senator Philip Adida, Segun Awolowo, and Hakeem Bello-Osagie, who sat in 4K directly behind Diezani.
Dalhatu Sarki Tafida, Nigerian UK High Commissioner met Buhari at the airport.
