President Muhammadu
Buhari scheduled one-day trip to Ogoniland, Rivers state Senegal for the flag
off of Niger Delta clean-up has been canceled.
A
Presidential source told SaharaReporters that President Buhari will be
represented by the Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo
The
cancelation 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.
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
two weeks ago.
It is unclear if the President plans to attend the ECOWAS meeting scheduled to discuss issues of regional security and economic development in Dakar tomorrow.
