While the bodies of eight of his staff who were on their way to Lagos for a conference are yet to be identified or are still in the morgue,the Central Bank of Nigeria Govenor Lamido Sanusi went ahead with his elaborate turbanning by the Emir Ado Bayero of Kano yesterday morning as the Danmajen Kano.
Not only was Lamido turbaned this morning, but his friends and associates took several pages in the national dailies to sing his praises and congratulate him on the ‘honour’ done to him.
This is coming even as the nation is still reeling from the shocking deaths of over 155 people who lost their lives when a Dana airline flight from Abuja to Lagos in which they were flying crashed in Iju, a suburb of Lagos, killing all 153 people on board and an as yet unknown number on the ground having crashed into a two story building.
What is even worse is that former military head of state and presidential candidate of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), Muhammadu Buhari and controversial former minister of the FCT, Malam Nasir Elrufai, were both at the event to ‘celebrate’ with the CBN governor.
Many have called to question the propriety of mounting such an ostentatious celebration when the nation is in deep mourning, but it seems that some are mourning while others are celebrating
