However, Former Chief of Staff to the governor of Delta State, Dr. Festus Okubor, cried out over the importation of foreign culture in presidential protocol, describing the development as a slap on the country’s cultural heritage.
Mr. Okubor expressed outrage that President Muhammadu Buhari on his return from his recent trip to Saudi Arabia and Qatar was welcomed by soldiers garbed in Scottish attire.https://i0.wp.com/1.bp.blogspot.com/-7_bHtkvJxwo/Vt5WW1U4EQI/AAAAAAACXIc/_1QmotQtuJg/s1600/scot%2B1.jpg?resize=588%2C392&ssl=1

Affirming laxity on the part of the presidential minders, he said that it was a disgrace to use soldiers dressed in the attire of the nation’s colonial powers to welcome the president of Nigeria back to his country.https://i0.wp.com/3.bp.blogspot.com/-_4z93OCh3zU/Vt5WbWJzw9I/AAAAAAACXIk/x5bSPHgGmDQ/s1600/scot%2B3.jpg?w=640&ssl=1

He noted that Nigeria has a rich culture from Kano, Borno to Benin. Okubor said: “I really feel that there are people bent on embarrassing the president and the people of Nigeria after watching that clip of the president being welcomed by soldiers dressed in Scottish attire.”
“For our president to be welcomed by a foreign culture is an insult when we have our own resplendent cultural outfits. Whoever did that does not love Nigeria,” Okubor said.
