Following the temporary refusal by pigeons to fly on Friday at the Armed Forces Remembrance after being released by President Muhammadu Buhari in Abuja, Nigerians have begun reacting diversely.
Former presidential candidate Oby Ezekwesili wondered why the pigeons refused to fly.
She tweeted: “Hmmm. Even the pigeons in Nigeria.”

In 2014, the pigeons refused to fly when former President Goodluck Jonathan freed them. Spiritual Director of the Adoration Ministry Enugu, Rev Fr. Ejike Mbaka, described the incident at the time as a sign that God had abandoned Jonathan.
