President Muhammadu Buhari has canceled his scheduled one-day trip to
Ogoniland, Rivers
state .His visit was meant to flag off the Niger Delta clean up. He will
now be represented by the Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo
.
In a text to SaharaReporters presidential spokesperson, Femi Adesina wrote ;'Not cancelled,VP to represent him".
The cancellation is not unconnected to security threats to the President
from a newly formed militant group, Niger Delta Avengers who had
threatened to kill the President should he step foot in the Niger Delta
region.
If you recall two weeks ago, the president had blamed an ear infection for canceling the visit to
Lagos where he was scheduled to commission some projects finished by
Governor Akinwunmi Ambode.
