The 69th birthday and 12th colloquium of All Progressives
Congress leader, Bola Tinubu, was on Monday disrupted by bad weather
As a result, many dignitaries who were billed to travel to
Kano by air were forced to make a U-turn.
Some of those affected include Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo,
Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila; the Secretary to
the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha; Minister of Information and
Culture, Lai Mohammed; and the Minister of the Interior, Rauf Aregbesola.
Osinbajo’s Spokesman, Mr. Laolu Akande, said in a tweet that
Osinbajo would monitor the event virtually alongside the President, Major
General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.).
He tweeted, “VP Osinbajo spending the day celebrating
Asiwaju on his 69th birthday was on course to Kano this morning until weather
conditions aborted travel plans. He’ll alongside Mr. President join the 12th
BAT Colloquium virtually from the Presidential Villa. Happy birthday Asiwaju.”
The event, which was expected to have begun at 12pm was
shifted to 12.30 due to the absence of several VIPs, a moderator informed
attendees on the Zoom platform.
However, it was learnt that about 60 members of the House of
Representatives led by Majority Leader, Ado Doguwa, who are already within Kano
State, are expected to attend.
