According to Leadership, both families arrived in Saudi Arabia this week but while Aisha Buhari and her five children were allotted a two-bedroom accommodation, the former vice president was allotted an eight-room apartment.
The embassy also reportedly failed to provide protocol officers and vehicles for the President’s family while the said courtesy was extended to Sambo’s family members.
An embassy source is said to have told Leadership that Nigeria’s Consular-General in Saudi Arabia, Ahmed Umar owes his position to Sambo and as such still sees himself as the former VP’s protégé.
