The Cable News Network, CNN, yesterday, made mockery of Nigeria over the continued absence of President Muhammadu Buhari from the country.
The television medium mocked the country in the latest edition of its “The Global Public Square (GPS)”, a foreign affairs show anchored by Fareed Zakaria.
The programme in its Quiz and Trivia segment asked, “The head of state from which country has not set foot in his homeland in over two months?”
The options were given as Saudi Arabia, Cuba, Nigeria and Syria.
It went on to tick the option ‘Nigeria’.
Chidi Odinkalu, Former Chairman of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) posted a screenshot of the question on Twitter.
Reacting to the controversial quiz, former aviation minister, Femi Fani-Kayode wrote on his twitter page “the shame these beasts brought upon our nation”.
In another tweet he said: “Watched @CNN last night. The shame that these beasts brought upon our nation will be multiplied in their lives a million fold. We warned!”
CNN just mocked Nigeria.
