Top Nigerian business leaders aren't happy President Muhammadu Buhari pulled out of his scheduled 2 day visit to Lagos state.
Buhari's decision not to honor the visit due to "scheduling issues" has angered business leaders who say the 73-year-old former military ruler is deaf to their plight, Reuters reports.
Buhari's sending Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, a Lagos commercial lawyer, to the meeting in his place - despite thousands of posters welcoming "the People's President to No1 Africa's mega city" - is another sign of his disdain, many believe.
"It is rather unfortunate that the federal government would raise the expectations of the people... only to cancel the presidential showing, seemingly with no obvious cogent reasons being given," said Yemi Adeleke, director of World Trade Center, a trade and investment agency.
"It is extraordinarily frustrating for those of us in the business community who supported him that he has chosen to be intransigent about something it seems as if he doesn't really understand," said Timi Soleye, president of CRYO Gas and Power.
