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.
