Daily Sun learnt that unlike yesterday, the decision was taken to reduce the crowd.
Even the two Masters of Ceremony, Cyril Stober and Eugenia Abu, were kept aside until they were provided with the red badges.
Daily Sun gathered that the red badges were shared yesterday ahead of time while those who made it early to the venue were lucky to have it.
President Buhari is currently with the presidents of Niger, Issourhou Bango; Gabon, Omar Bango; and also representatives from Cameroon and Libya deliberating on the way forward.
