Buhari Fires His Liaison Officer 'Alhaji Rimi' Over UN Embarrassment - VANGUARD

President Muhammadu Buhari has fired his chief protocol officer 'Alhaji Nura Rimi' according to Vanguard.
His removal was effected last week, though no reason was given for his sudden disengagement from the Presidential Villa.

Reports say Alhaji Rimi who served as President Goodluck Jonathan’s Chief Protocol Officer was posted to Nigeria Embassy in Abu Dhabi shortly before the presidential Election but was recalled by President Buhari who appointed him as his PLO before his inauguration.

He is a career civil servant who had served in high positions including Nigeria’s embassy in the United States of America before he was posted to the presidential Villa as a Protocol officer where he served both President Umaru YarAdua and President Jonathan.

During last visit to the United Nations General Assembly meeting in the United States of America, Alhaji Nura was with President Buhari entourage and facilitated most of the meetings that President Buhari attended in the sidelines of the UNGA.
