The PDP has slammed President Buhari for happily displaying Boko Haram flag.
The PDP group which made the statement via its witter handle, @voteandstay, claimed the flag
presented to President Buhari by the army was fake.
The group also described the flag presentation to the president as a disgrace to the sovereignty of Nigeria.
It said the 'Flag and Quoran are not Shekau's head and queried if Obama could bring back Osama Bin Ladin's Qoran and Flag without killing him?
Below are evidences the group listed to prove that the flag presented to the president was a fake:
