Like Obasanjo did in 1999, the media team of General Muhammadu Buhari has released a statement saying that as from May 29, the president-elect will no longer want to be addressed as a General.
“From May 29, 2015, the President-elect and Vice-President-elect are to be respectively known and addressed as Muhammadu Buhari, President, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Federal Republic of Nigeria and Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, Vice President, Federal Republic of Nigeria” the statement signed by the Directorate of Media and Publicity of Gen Buhari read. But, does that really matter?
