Acting
President Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, has had to reschedule his visit to Ondo State
today. The trip had been set-up in continuation of his tour of the oil-producing
communities which earlier took the Acting President to Delta, Bayelsa,
Rivers and Imo States.
Prof.
Osinbajo was already air-borne this morning when weather reports indicated
dusty haze and very poor visibility at the Akure Airport and other alternative
airports nearby.
The
presidential jet therefore had to return to Abuja following which the weather
condition was closely monitored until about 2:30pm, when it became abundantly
clear that the situation would not change in time for the Acting President to
achieve the purposes of the visit. The visit has therefore been
rescheduled for Monday, the 20th of February, 2017.
The
Presidency has extended apologies to the State Governor, the Governor-elect,
traditional rulers and the generality of the people of Ondo State who had been
awaiting the Acting President’s visit.
