Breaking: Buhari Stopped From Zamfara

A scheduled visit by President Muhammadu Buhari to Zamfara State was cancelled at the last minute on Thursday after poor weather conditions stopped his helicopter from taking off from Sokoto.

The president was on a scheduled visit to Sokoto and Zamfara States. He had earlier as part of his visit to Sokoto commissioned a number of projects executed by the Governor Aminu Tambuwal administration.

Governor Bello Matawalle of Zamfara State announced the cancellation of the visit after President Buhari personally called him to explain the poor weather condition that stopped him from moving on account of poor weather visibility.

“Mr President has spoken to me and asked me to convey his apologies to the good people of the state. Mr President said he would reschedule the visit to the state next week and the fixed date would be communicated to us in due course,” Matawalle said.

“Some of the security chiefs are currently in Katsina but can’t fly to Zamfara for the same reason. Based on this, we are extending our apology to the good people of the state over the postponement for reason beyond our control. We thank Mr President for his love for the state.

Earlier, Buhari had commissioned a three million metric tonnes cement plant of BUA in Sokoto.

The President was accompanied by the Governor of Sokoto State, Rt. Hon. Aminu Waziri Tambuwal; Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Mr Godwin Emefele; Chairman of BUA Group, Alhaji AbdulSamad Rabi”u and Chairman of Max Air, Alhaji Dahiru Bara’u Mangal, among others.
