MAKURDI — A chartered aircraft conveying former Head of State and All Progressive Congress, APC, presidential aspirant, Gen. Mohammadu Buhari (rtd) and his entourage, was Wednesday allegedly denied landing rights by the authoriities of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria, FAAN, in Makurdi, Benue State.

Vanguard gathered from a reliable source that Gen. Buhari, alongside his entourage, was travelling from Bayelsa State to Makurdi to woo delegates of his party ahead of the APC delegates congress scheduled for December but had their flight denied permission to touch down in Makurdi.

According to him, “the flight was earlier granted landing permission but we were all surprised when half an hour to his arrival a counter directive was issued mid-flight thereby forcing the aircraft to head to Abuja.

“What they did was evil and dangerous, what if the plane was low on fuel, what do you think would have happened? Desperation has set into our politics, and it is posing grave danger to our democracy.”

When contacted on phone, the Benue State Chairman of the APC, Comrade Abba Yaro confirmed the development describing it as unfortunate.

He explained that loyalists of the party who had laid siege at the airport Wednesday morning were disappointed and had to disperse when they learnt of the unfortunate development.

“We will certainly react to this ugly incident because what they have done was not only callous and wicked but also unacceptable in modern day Nigeria.”

All attempts to speak with officials of FAAN in Makurdi on the matter failed as they all declined to comment on the issue.

As Usual, APC clowns will blame it on GEJ

Jonathanian Charlatans will soon come and tell us why Buhari travelled to Makurdi via a chartered flight and not a Camel

The folks at the airport could not have done what they did without order from above just like the accursed IG of Police did to the Reps

what are you saying? Like I care?! If they can promise to kill innocent people and they did and they are still doing, if they can kidnap over 200 girls, if they are willing to form an alternative government just because they want to get to power come 2015 what else can't they do?

They promised to do all these and they truly did. But, the President never deems it fit to apprehend the people that promised all these. And you wonder why some people call him "Clueless"?! Bros, stop making him look clueless the more!

they said he denied his plane from landing, you are here on Nairaland.com ranting and vexing up and down... I wonder what you would do if he is then arrested for questioning that one you will take to the streets with grenade and AK 47 assault rifle!
