The Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), denied Buhari land permit in Makurdi, the Benue State capital.
The party members, who had thronged the airport early Wednesday in their numbers to receive Buhari were disappointed with the news of not granting land permit to their aspirant and had to disperse.
The state chairman of APC in the state, Abba Yaro, who spoke to newsmen in Makurdi, on Wednesday, said the authority of the airport denied the presidential candidate land permit with no reason given.
Yaro said Buhari was scheduled to visit Benue, so as to meet and consult with the delegates ahead the party presidential primaries, coming up on December 10.
When CKN Nigeria contacted the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NEMA) and FAAN for the reason Buhari’s chartered plane was not cleared for landing at Makurdi Airport, the GM Public Affairs of FAAN Mr Yakubu Dati said the agency was not in the position to speak on it, saying the airport was under the control of the military and not FAAN.
