Already social media commentators have expressed their disappointment that President Buhari – who pledged to take the Boko Haram menace as a priority – chose not to lead the delegation.
See some tweets of Nigerians expressing their displeasure:
@NTANewsNow please ask @femiadesina where Mr President is? Is he in Duara? Or still at the UN?

@NTANewsNow @NRI1983 Mr President should be the one at the scenes, not his delegates
