Osinbajo Aborts Visit To Ondo, As Dusty Haze, Poor Visibility Turn His Jet Back

osinbajo-in-abu-dhabiActing President Yemi Osinbajo aborted his reschedule visit to Ondo State today, Friday due to what his media aide, Laolu Akande described as dusty and very poor visibility.

Laolu, in a statement, said that Osinbajo had set out on the trip in continuation of his tour of the oil-producing communities which earlier took him to Delta, Bayelsa, Rivers and Imo States.
He said that Professor Osinbajo was already air-borne when weather reports indicated dusty haze and very poor visibility at the Akure Airport and other alternative airports nearby.
“The presidential jet therefore had to return to Abuja following which the weather condition was closely monitored until about 2:30 pm, when it became abundantly clear that the situation would not change in time for the Acting President to achieve the purposes of the visit.”

The statement said that the visit has been  rescheduled for Monday, the 20th of February, adding that the presidency apologized to the State Governor, the Governor-elect, traditional rulers and the generality of the people of Ondo State who had been awaiting the Acting President’s visit. [myad]
