Journalists Warned To Stay Away As John Kerry Visits Buhari In Aso Rock Today

The US Secretary of State, John Kerry, will today meet
with Buhari at the Presidential villa in Abuja.
Kerry is expected to meet behind closed doors with
President Buhari where the two leaders would hold
bilateral discussion bothering on building stronger ties
between Nigeria and the United States.
As security is beefed up in the presidency ahead of the
visit, reporters have been barred from covering the
activities with exception of cameramen who would only
take establishment shots.
According to the schedule, the American scribe will also
meet with five governors from the northern part of the
country at the end of his bilateral talks with President
Buhari.
Our correspondents gathered that all reporters
throughout the period of Kerry’s stay in the villa will be
confined to the briefing room of the council chambers.
Aside from establishing the arrival of the visiting
Secretary of state at the forecourt of the presidential
villa by about 2:55pm, only photographers and
videographers will also be allowed to establish the
bilateral meeting at the Grey room of the President’s
office.
