The Vice President arrived in Ogoniland, Rivers State, to represent President Muhammadu Buhari, who, at the last hour cancelled his scheduled trip to the troubled Niger Delta region.
President Buhari had planned a one-day visit to Ogoni land, Rivers State, Nigeria for the flag-off of the Ogoni land clean up exercise slated for today (Thursday).
The Presidency has given no reason for the cancellation.But Nigerians have been speculating that Buhari had succumbed to the threat of the Niger Delta avengers who warned him not to show up else he will be killed.
In recent weeks, the oil-producing Niger Delta has been hit by a wave of militant attacks.
Former Footballer Joseph Yobo, Singer Muma Gee and other are all present at the flagoff ceremony. More photos after the cut...
