Jackie Wayas, The Protocol Officer of His Excellency, Peter Gregory Obi, has debunked the statement of the Director General of Nigeria Sports Commission, Honorable Bukola Olopade, who claimed it was impossible for Peter Obi to have any chance of meeting the Flamingoes, following their U-17 triumph.
Recall that Peter Obi earlier shared that on inquiry by his Protocols Officer, he was denied access to congratulate the Flamingoes at the airport, by officials who feared to lose their jobs if they agree to such meeting. In reaction, the DG of NSC, Bukola Olopade called Peter Obi a pathological liar, claiming it was 5:30 AM when the Flamingoes were at the airport, adding that it was so dark and impossible for Peter Obi to have even met with them because the officials were not working yet.
However, Jackie Wayas, the Protocol Officer of His Excellency, Peter Obi, called out the lies, claiming that it was not 5:30 AM. She also said the refusal was made by the Head of Legal of the NFF. She also added that it was the noise of the drumming and singing that attracted the attention of Peter Obi, who out of courtesy and protocol, asked Jackie to inform whoever is in charge of his intention to congratulate them before the said statement of refusal was made to her.
The video shared by Jackie showed the Flamingoes, led by the Captain Harmony Chidi, and the Best Player of the Tournament, Oluebube Umejiaku, leading the rest of the team out in broad daylight, amidst loud drumming and fanfare.
No Mr DG, it wasn’t 5:30am, they might want to ask the Legal of the NFF who said no.
they were all out celebrating with drummer bands and trumpeters, that was what called H.E attention at first, curtesy and protocol demanded that I inform who ever was in charge that H.E will like to congratulate the girls.
Other well wishers gathered to celebrate with them at this very spot, opposite the domestic wing of the Abuja Airport. But once it’s H.E Peter Obi they will lose their jobs.
