ZENITHBLOG.com learnt that the directive was issued through Education Secretaries (ES) of the state.
According to Mustapha, failure to obey the directive will attract serious penalties for heads of the concerned schools.
His post read: “In preparation of receiving the vice president of Nigeria, Prof Yemi Osinbajo on Thursday this week, the government through Education secretaries (ES) urged all the pupils of primary schools in the capital to come out and receive the vice president.
“But the main target is to hold posters of the governor with inscriptions of 2019 on the posters.

Going further, Mustapha argued that “all the schools were giving numbers and failure to bring their pupils will not go without consequences, even though the pupils are on holiday.
“Before the governor was voted during the 2015 and no pupil raised any poster and since God ordained it, he is the governor now.
Governor Muhammadu Umaru Jibrilla Bindow of Adamawa state has allegedly ordered that pupils should carry placards to greet the vice president during his coming visit

“But it is unfair to punish any school head for failing to bring his pupils as some had travelled for holiday. The governor should pay the teachers their salaries. This is more important.
