Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo says
the Next Level engagements will continue, despite surviving an air crash in
Kogi state on Saturday.
The accident is the second air
mishap the vice-president will survive in eight months, after surviving the
first in June 2018.
The professor of law and pastor
of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) returned all glory to God for
keeping him and his team safe.
“All thanks and glory to God, the
chopper we boarded today from Abuja just crash landed in Kabba, Kogi State, and
the entire crew plus myself are all safe,” Osinbajo said.
“We are continuing with our Next
Level Engagements and plans for Kogi State.”
On June 7, 2018, the chopper
conveying the vice-president from the Nigeria Customs Command and Staff
College, Gwagwalada, Abuja, was forced to land few seconds after take off.
At the time, Laolu Akande, VP’s
senior special assistant, explained that the vice-president avoided using his
chopper from Gwagwalada where he had gone for an official assignment back to
the Presidential Villa due to “technical reasons.”
He said the vice-president
returned to the Presidential Villa by road and continued with his schedule.
“VP Osinbajo attended the
graduation ceremony of Nigeria Customs Senior Course in Gwagwalada today
(Thursday June 7, 2018),” he had tweeted.
“On his way back, it was decided,
for technical reasons, not to fly the chopper that had brought him to the
venue. He drove back to the Presidential Villa and continued his schedule.”
Osinbajo has continued the Next
Level engagements in Kogi state, following the accident.
