Niger Delta Avengers Threat: Buhari Cancels Niger Delta Visit by deadkiss: 9:30am On Jun 02, 2016
President Muhammadu Buhari has cancelled his widely publicized June 2nd trip to the Niger Delta to inaugurate the clean up of Ogoni land, Rivers State, a source familiar with the development have said.

President Buhari according to THEWILL source has asked Vice President Yemi Osinbajo to represent him at the official launch of the clean up of the devastated Ogoni-land, which has suffered severe degradation over the years courtesy of oil spills in the region.

The Minister of the Environment, Amina Mohammed, had said: “I can confirm that President Buhari will visit Ogoni land on June 2 to flag-off cleanup of oil spills in the area as recommended in the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) report.

“Buhari would return to Ogoni land where he inaugurated a fish pond in 1984 where the once flourishing pond regrettably had been destroyed by oil pollution.”

This is the second cancellation of a highly publicized visit of the President within four weeks. A few days ago, the Presidency unexpectedly announced the cancellation of the President’s official visit to Nigeria’s commercial hub, Lagos. Instead, President Buhari drafted Vice President Osinbajo to represent him at the commissioning of several key projects in the state.

Some news reports attributed the trip’s cancellation to a sudden ear infection, which struck the President, but the Presidency said it aborted the visit due to President Buhari’s very tight schedule.

The often reliable source told THEWILL that President Buhari will instead depart Nigeria for Senegal at the weekend.

THEWILL was unable to independently confirm the cancellation of the President’s visit to the Niger Delta. Calls to his spokesmen, Mr. Garba Shehu and Femi Adesina were not acknowledged as at the time of filing this report.
