Armed Forces remembrance day: Why pigeons Buhari released refused to fly – Presidency
The Presidency has come out with an explanation why the pigeons refused to fly during the Armed Forces Remembrance Day ceremony.
Femi Adesina, Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to President Muhammadu Buhari in an article he titled “Reflections from a wreath laying ceremony” made it known that the pigeons could not fly because they have been kept in a cage for a very long time.
He wrote;
“When birds and some other roaming animals have been circumscribed for a while, they get accustomed to their new status as lawful captives. Therefore, when you offer them freedom, they first baulk, thinking it’s too good to be true. It’s a natural phenomenon.
“President Buhari opened the cage that held the pigeons, about a score or so. One hesitated, then flew, followed by another.
“The others temporized a bit. And then, two, three minutes later, they all took to the sky. Nothing extraordinary in the development, you would think.”
I have a simple question for you, what about other years that the pigeons flew.?
Is it not how you people have been doing it since when we have gotten the Independence, how this one’s refused to fly?
The same flimsy excuses giving to us since when the president buhari as attained the position of leadership in Nigeria.
Something must be wrong somewhere which we might not know, for the pigeon to refuse to fly, there’s something to it.
The pigeon didn’t fly because of tiredness or what, your excuse is not geniue because that is you have doing it from the beginning.
that is lie and it doesn’t makeup for this excuses….
