This meeting is totally uncalled for, this is year 2020 and we are still showing our president hardcopy pictures of an unfortunate incident. RIP technology.

What a great achievement! You went to Abuja to show him pictures? As Lagos is not outside Nigeria, he cant personally go to see and access the situation.
Or since he cant travel, view live feeds from the area?
Anyway hope your trip made him donate money to the GoFundMe account?
