Acting President, Mr Yemi Osinbajo, on Friday, rescheduled his visit to Ondo State because he was unable to land.
It was gathered that the trip had been set-up in continuation of his tour of the oil-producing communities which earlier took the Acting President to Delta, Bayelsa, Rivers and Imo States.
He was already air-borne this morning 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 2:30pm, when it became abundantly clear that the situation would not change in time for the Acting President to achieve the purposes of the visit. T
However, the Acting President has rescheduled the visit to Monday, February 20, 2017.
Meanwhile, the Presidency has extended its apologies 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.
