Nigerians have viewed the independence day celebration that was aired on the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) without the presence of some key leaders of the country who had frequently graced the previous editions.
The issue was unconnected to the disputes that surround the reelection of President Muhammadu Buhari for a second term in office.
Some of the former leaders have failed to congratulate him after he was declared the winner of the 2019 presidential election. Rather, they have maintained that the victory was still contentious.
The event also took place in Aso rock and not the Eagle square where a more elaborate celebration can take place.
Buhari’s relationship with former leaders of the country may have gone sour after allegations of lopsided appointments and sentiments were brought about against him.
