Buhari practices social distancing, refuses to shake Minister for Communication, Pantami

President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari has taken safety precautions regarding the spread of coronavirus.

In a recent video obtained by MyNigeria.com from the Twitter feed of his media aide, Bashir Ahmad, Buhari refused to shake hands with Nigeria's Minister of Communication and Digital Economy, Dr. Isa Pantami as well as other dignitaries that hailed him.

All the President did was to wave to them. He would not come close to the young girl that brought him flowers. He maintained a meter distance between the little girl as he stood crowded by security.

Here is the video clip:
