Presidency Thursday refuted claims in some quarters that president Mohammadu Buhari canceled his trip to Ogoniland, Rivers State for the commencement oil spillage clean up exercise in the region.
It rather stated that Vice President Yemi Osinbajo represented the president at the occasion.
It will be recalled that the presidential movement to the oil rich land had been widely publicized that even the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike on the eve of the trip on Wednesday made a broadcast, calling for calm and support for the president.
But at the eleventh hour Wednesday night after his advanced team had arrived Ogoniland, the president detailed his deputy to perform the ritual.
Buhari's Special Adviser on media and publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina said that he was represented at the event by his deputy. “We all went to school. There is a difference between cancellation and being represented by someone. The president did not cancel his trip to Ogoniland.
He was represented by the Vice President”, Adesina said. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

ReplyDeleteOr rather avoiding wiping them off the surface of earth!
DeleteWiping them off after he's dead
Delete@Abba Esah..... your comment is one of the dumbest I have had the misfortune of reading in recent times....
DeleteLet us see where all these threats and counter threats will lead us to. never try putting square pegs in round holes!!!!
Avoider..i tot he was a strong military man...all buhari know is to be intimidating his political oppositions...He lacks the courage to go to some state as a president,what a shame
DeleteBuhari is a coward...
ReplyDeleteBuhari is an ethnic and religious bigot.
ReplyDeleteVisiting an area where people possess such lethal ammo as GPMG and missiles is foolhardy. That stuff does not respect bodyguards, no matter their number. We are dealing here with boys who get high 24/7. They will be glad to hit a high profile target. PMB is a military veteran. He knows the drill.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the fuss about the trip, He opted against traveling beside why would anyone put the President in harms way, who does that , it will be ridiculing the institution so we should focus on how the issues in the Niger delta region will be addressed rather than all this horse trading.
ReplyDeleteWhy did people not shout about Lagos visit also...
ReplyDeleteNiger talk talk
The President simply respected himself and the office he occupies for the now. He knew the NDA would have with all pleasure brought him to his knees in the very presence of all the bodyguards of the country and with the ones from neighbouring including UK put together, after all only Alams beat them in their own country. Don't under rate NDA, Buhari my President please do the needful in the Niger Delta and stop doing the bidding of the cabal.
