President Buhari has created a stir by arriving in Ebonyi state dressed in traditional Igbo Ishiagu.
The President was dressed in Ishiagu Igbo regalia at Enugu Airport in photographs published on social media as he flies to Ebonyi state to inaugurate projects and meet with South-East leaders.
President Buhari, who was greeted warmly by State Governor David Umahi and other key government officials on Thursday, May 5, promptly went about commissioning the King David University of Medical Sciences in Ohaozara LGA, according to Anaedoonline.ng.

Nigerians lambasted the president for refusing to let Nnamdi Kanu, the beleaguered leader of the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), to wear the same clothing to court.
They added that it was insulting for an Igbo man to be deprived his traditional wears, whereas other non-igbos proudly don the attire.
